Quality Control

Our 1H-Perfluorooctane is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include identity confirmation by FT-IR, purity assay by GC, and verification of key physical properties. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
