Quality Control

Our Hypofluorousacid (8Ci,9Ci) is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Quality is verified through analytical techniques including titration and gas chromatography. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent that is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between -20°C to -80°C, in a dedicated, well-ventilated area. Containers must be clearly labeled and segregated from incompatible materials.
