Quality Control

Our 2,2,4,4-Tetrakis(Trifluoromethyl)-1,3-Dithietane is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR (¹H, ¹⁹F, ¹³C), HPLC, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality system supports cGMP and ISO standards for research and commercial-scale supply.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. The container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture ingress and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
