Quality Control

Our 1-Fluoro-1,1-Dinitroethane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, which includes results from GC, HPLC, NMR, and other relevant spectroscopic methods. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, bases, and metals.
