Quality Control

Our Cyclopentane-13C is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for demanding research applications. Each batch is characterized by advanced spectroscopic methods, including NMR and GC-MS, to confirm isotopic enrichment and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, chemical assay, and impurity profile is provided with every 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, keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize volatility and maintain stability.
