Quality Control

Our 3-Octen-2-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and chiral analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from heat and ignition sources. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen.
