Quality Control

Our 1,1,2-Tribromo-2-Fluoroethane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific project requirements, from research to commercial scale.

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. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
