Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Propanol-2-13C is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. Our standard quality commitment includes verification of isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C) and chemical purity by advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for identity, assay, isotopic purity, and solvent residues is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, although it remains stable at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) for shorter periods.
