Quality Control

Our [S,(-)]-3,7-Dimethyl-6-Octene-3-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by GC or HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles are provided to guarantee consistency and traceability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) is recommended. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
