Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-3,5-Dodecadiene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your specified requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its easily oxidized nature. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to high volatility, ensure containers are properly sealed when not in use.
