Quality Control

Our Heptane-1-13C is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to verify isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity (atom % 13C), chemical assay, and impurity profiles are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or quality specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize stability.
