Quality Control

Our Trifluoromethylarsine is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity for research applications. While specific grades are available, all materials are analyzed using advanced techniques such as GC-MS, NMR, and FTIR to verify identity and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, properly rated cylinder or container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizers, and moisture. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, containers must be kept upright and secured. Store under an inert atmosphere if specified. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
