Quality Control

Our 1-Bromotridecane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and titration methods, to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, and we support compliance with global regulatory frameworks such as REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging during long-term storage.
