Quality Control

Our Perfluoroisobutyronitrile is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for traceability and quality assurance.

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 reducing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and pressure buildup. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
