Quality Control

Our Ethane-1,1,1,2-D4 is produced and handled under stringent quality control protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR and GC-MS to verify deuterium enrichment and the absence of significant impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity (atom % D), chemical purity, and physical state is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Cylinders should be secured upright and stored in a location compliant with local regulations for compressed gases. The product is stable under recommended storage conditions.
