Quality Control

Our Cyclopentane, 1-Methyl-1-(Trifluoromethyl)- (9Ci) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability, or at controlled room temperature for short-term use.
