Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-1-Iodopropane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to verify identity and assay. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters are 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, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
