Quality Control

Our 2-(3-Fluorooxetan-3-Yl)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization using techniques including NMR, HPLC, and GC to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request. We support development and commercial projects requiring material that meets rigorous internal specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to minimize moisture uptake. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
