Quality Control

Our 1H,1H-Perfluorooctyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and evaporation.
