Quality Control

Our 4,4,5,5,6,6,6-Heptafluoro-2-hexanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, supporting compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maintain optimal stability for long-term storage. The container should be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
