Quality Control

Our Dichlorofluoroacetic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity profiling, and identification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
