Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-2-Chloro-1,1,2-Trifluorobutane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles for production where applicable, ensuring reliability for critical R&D and scale-up processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, although short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
