Quality Control

Our 4H-Octafluoro-1-Iodobutane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every 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, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature and organic iodide content, prolonged exposure to light or heat should be avoided to maintain stability.
