Quality Control

Our 5-Phenyl-2-Hexene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
