Quality Control

Our [C1Mim]Tfac is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, Karl Fischer titration for water content, and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
