Quality Control

Our (E)-4-Ethyl-2-Octene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistent identity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen and keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
