Quality Control

Our 1H,1H,8H-Perfluoro-1-Octanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong acids, oxidizers, and heat sources. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, appropriate secondary containment and vapor control measures are recommended. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
