Quality Control

Our 2-Bromotetrafluoroethyl 1,2,2,2-Tetrafluoroethyl Ether is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential moisture ingress. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
