Quality Control

Our (Z)-3,7-Dimethyloct-2-Enyl Acetate is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and IR analysis, to ensure high purity, consistent odor profile, and chemical identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific gravity, and refractive index are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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