Quality Control

Our 1-Octene-5-Ol is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identification by FTIR, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality 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 away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its properties, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and in compatible containers resistant to strong alkali and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
