Quality Control

Our (3S,4S)-3-Isopropenyl-4-Methyl-4-Vinyl-1-Cyclohexene is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept sealed and allowed to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress and degradation.
