Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dibromotrifluoroethyl Trifluoromethyl Ether is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identification by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP standards where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to minimize evaporation and degradation. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. The container should be kept upright and sealed under an inert atmosphere if specified for the grade.
