Quality Control

Our 3,7-Dimethylocta-3,6-Dienoic Acid is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identification by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and identity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
