Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-6-Hepten-3-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and IR analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent organoleptic properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

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) for long-term preservation of quality. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
