Quality Control

Our production of 7-(Heptafluoroisopropoxy)Perfluoroheptanoic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is rigorously analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR (19F, 1H), FT-IR, and GC/HPLC to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, containers must be kept tightly sealed and handled in a fume hood. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
