Quality Control

Our (-)-2-[(1E,3E)-1,3-Hexadienyl]-5-Methoxy-2-Methyl-4-[(E)-1-Oxo-2-Hexenyl]Furan-3(2H)-One is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess meet rigorous standards. Comprehensive analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and optical rotation are employed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
