Quality Control

Our 4,4-Dichloroheptane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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 acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
