Quality Control

Our Heptafluorobutyranilide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials. Due to its fluoride/strong alkali chemical property, ensure proper segregation in storage areas.
