Quality Control

Our production of 4-Iodo-1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoro-2-(Trifluoromethyl)Octane adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR (¹H, ¹⁹F, ¹³C), GC-MS, and HPLC analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades, typically from technical to >95% or >98%, to meet specific research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at 2-8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and degradation. Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, containers should be kept sealed and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture ingress.
