Quality Control

Our 3-Phenylpent-4-Enal is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to verify identity and purity against established specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage or after opening to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
