Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-2-Methylpropene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
