Quality Control

Our 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluoro-7-Methyloctan-1-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality parameters are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance support for your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
