Quality Control

Every batch of our Rac-1,2-Dilinolen is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer content, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to meet the exacting standards of research and development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
