Quality Control

Our 3-(3,7,9-Trimethyl-2,6-Decadienyl)Oxiran-2-One is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
