Quality Control

Our Isobicyclogermacrenal is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of the fragrance industry. We employ rigorous analytical methods including GC, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy to ensure identity, purity, and olfactory consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer content, and olfactory profile is provided with each batch to guarantee traceability and quality assurance for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
