Quality Control

Our (R)-(+)-1,1,1-Trifluoroheptan-2-ol 97 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC and GC, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity and enantiomeric excess. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Keep away from strong alkalis and fluorides.
