Quality Control

Our 1,6-Diiodo-3,3,4,4-Tetrafluorohexane is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC/HPLC), identity (IR, NMR), and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, containers must be kept sealed and away from heat and ignition sources. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
