Quality Control

Our production of 1H,2H-Heptafluoro-3,3-Bis(Trifluoromethyl)-1-Iodohex-1-Ene adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to verify identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive nature of the iodo-olefin bond, containers should be amber-colored or wrapped in light-protective material.
