Quality Control

Our (E)-3-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-Cyclohexen-1-Yl)Propenenitrile is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and GC for impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and physical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
