Quality Control

Our Isooctan-1-Al is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, and we can support customer-specific validation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in partially used containers. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
