Quality Control

Our 1-Butene-1-13C is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques including Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to verify isotopic enrichment and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, chemical purity, and assay is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere in a sealed cylinder or ampule is recommended. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
