Quality Control

Every batch of 2,2'-Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)-1,1'-Biphenyl is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to support your R&D and quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
