Quality Control

Our 2,3,6-Trimethyl-1,6-Heptadiene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are 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 sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C.
