Quality Control

Our 1H,1H-Heptafluorobutyl Triflate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, GC, and HPLC, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
