Quality Control

Our 6,10-Dimethylundeca-5,9-Dien-2-Ol is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay (by GC), isomer content, and specific optical rotation 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 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 degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
