Quality Control

Our Perfluorotridecanoic Acid 97 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the declared 97% minimum purity and consistent performance specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, appropriate secondary containment is recommended. For long-term storage, maintain at room temperature (15-25°C).
