Quality Control

Our 1-Chloro-Tetrafluoroethanesulfinic Acid, Sodium Salt is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with research and industrial standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, and custom purity grades are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and strong bases.
