Quality Control

Our (E)-5-Butoxy-2-Pentene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to confirm identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. 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. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
