Quality Control

Our 2-Fluoro-2,2-Dinitroethanol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
