Quality Control

Our 7-Chloro-1-Heptene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality systems are designed to meet the stringent requirements of cGMP and ISO standards for fine chemical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatility loss.
