Quality Control

Every batch of Propane-2-D1 is manufactured and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high standards required for research and analytical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic purity, chemical purity, and identity are available for each lot. Our quality commitment aligns with the needs of GMP/GLP-compliant laboratories.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to maintain purity and prevent moisture absorption. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
