Quality Control

Our (6E)-2,6,9-Trimethyl-1,6-Decadiene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent isomeric composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
