Quality Control

Our 6-Octen-2-One, (Z)- is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and olfactory consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results 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 place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening and minimize headspace to preserve quality and shelf life.
