Quality Control

Our 1H,1H,7H-Dodecafluoroheptyl Iodide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and highly volatile nature, containers must be kept sealed and away from heat sources and open flames. For long-term storage, consider using amber glass containers under an inert atmosphere.
