Quality Control

Every batch of Biphenyl-Ul-14C is produced and analyzed to meet exacting standards for radiochemical purity and specific activity. Our quality assurance includes rigorous testing via HPLC with radiometric detection and NMR spectroscopy to confirm chemical and radiochemical identity, purity, and enrichment. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, radiochemical purity, chemical purity, and solvent composition is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the COA) in a dedicated, well-ventilated area for radioactive materials. Due to its labeled nature and potential volatility, ensure containers are securely sealed to prevent loss and contamination. Follow all local and international regulations for the storage and handling of radioactive substances.
