Quality Control

Our cis-5-Octenyl Acetate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles are available for every batch upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
