Quality Control

Our Heptafluorobutyrylamidine Hcl is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all specifications and test results. Our quality system is designed to support applications requiring traceability and reliability, from research to scale-up.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
