Quality Control

Every batch of 1 2-Dichloroethane-1 2-14C is produced and analyzed under stringent conditions to ensure high chemical, radiochemical, and isotopic purity. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the exacting standards of research and regulatory science. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, radiochemical purity (by HPLC or TLC), chemical purity (by GC), and solvent composition is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, preferably at 2-8°C to minimize volatility and maintain stability. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, appropriate shielding and handling procedures for radioactive materials must be followed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
