Quality Control

Our Ethane-13C2 is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, meeting the exacting requirements of research and analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically >99 atom % 13C), chemical purity, and identity confirmation via GC-MS and NMR. We adhere to rigorous quality testing protocols to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere in a sealed cylinder or ampule is recommended. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
