Quality Control

Our 2-(Difluoro)Oxirane 95% is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for reliable supply to regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, preferably at 2-8°C (refrigerated) to minimize pressure build-up and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use.
