Quality Control

Our 2-Heptyltetrahydrofuran is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise purity and identity specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. For long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen due to its sensitivity to oxidation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
