Quality Control

Our 13-Fluoro-2-Tridecenoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere when appropriate to prevent degradation.
