Quality Control

Every batch of Trans,trans-1-Chloro-3,7,11-Trimethyl-2,6,10-Dodecatriene is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

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