Quality Control

Every batch of Tetrachloroethylene-1,2-14C is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems to ensure the highest standards of radiochemical purity and chemical purity. Our quality commitment includes verification of specific activity and isotopic enrichment. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, radio-HPLC) is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with research protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature and classification as a strong acid/organic solvent, appropriate secondary containment is recommended. For long-term stability, storage at recommended refrigeration temperatures (2-8°C) may be advised; please refer to the specific product documentation.
