Quality Control

Our 4-Ethyl-3-Octen is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC analysis for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place 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 stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
