Quality Control

Every batch of 7,8-Dibromo-1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-Tridecafluorooctane is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials. Due to its fluoride/strong alkali chemical property, ensure it is stored separately from bases and moisture-sensitive compounds.
