Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-3,6,10-Trimethylundec-9-En-2-One is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the stringent requirements of the fragrance and flavor industries. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your formulation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
