Quality Control

Our 2-Acetyl-7-Methyl-1,2,3,4,4A,5,8,8A-Octahydro-1,4-Methanonaphthalene is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and GC-MS for identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
