Quality Control

Our (E)-2-Dodecene is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. 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. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and oxidation.
