Quality Control

Our Perfluorohexanoic Anhydride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR, GC, and FTIR to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment, ensuring compliance with your research and production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
