Quality Control

Our Acetyl Bromide-1-13C is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (Atom % 13C), chemical purity, and identity confirmation. We adhere to stringent in-process controls to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your research and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and highly volatile compound, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Use appropriate corrosion-resistant storage equipment and handle under an inert atmosphere if specified for purity maintenance.
