Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-1,6-heptadiene-3-ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, 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) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
