Quality Control

Our cis-2-Octene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and isomer confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
