Quality Control

Every batch of Epichlorohydrin-2-13C is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity, critical for research integrity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including isotopic enrichment verification by NMR and quantitative impurity profiling by GC-MS. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific data for isotopic purity, chemical purity, and identity are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
