Quality Control

Every batch of Toluene-Methyl-14C is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure high chemical and radiochemical purity. Our quality system guarantees traceability and consistency for research applications. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing parameters such as specific activity, radiochemical purity (typically by HPLC), and chemical purity. We adhere to relevant guidelines for the handling and documentation of radioactive materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed. For long-term stability, storage at recommended low temperatures (e.g., 2-8°C or as specified on the label) is advised. Always follow local and international regulations for the safe storage of radioactive compounds.
