Quality Control

Every batch of Butane-1,1,1,4,4,4-D6 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We ensure compliance with the high standards required for research and analytical applications. Key parameters including isotopic purity (D-enrichment), chemical purity, and identity are verified using advanced techniques such as GC-MS, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, this product is typically supplied in a sealed, pressurized cylinder or ampule. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. The container must be kept upright and secured. For long-term stability, storage at room temperature (15-25°C) is recommended.
