Quality Control

Our 2-Butanone, 1,1,3,4,4-Pentafluoro- is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all critical specifications. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
