Quality Control

Our 4-Methyl-6-Hepten-3-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC), identity (IR), and specific gravity is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. 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 container tightly sealed when not in use.
