Quality Control

Our Benzyl-α-13C Bromide is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, meeting the stringent requirements for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing parameters such as assay (by NMR or HPLC), isotopic enrichment, and impurity profile. We support compliance with various research and development standards.

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 highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
