Quality Control

Our Propane (1-13C) is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and gas composition. We adhere to ISO-guided quality management practices, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific research or GMP-grade requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, cylinders must be secured upright and stored in a dedicated, approved gas cabinet or area. Keep container valves tightly closed when not in use.
