Quality Control

Our 6-Methyl-1,5-Heptadiene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity verification, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when not in use to prevent evaporation and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C.
