Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Heptanone, 3-Fluoro- (9Ci) is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data (including GC, HPLC, NMR, and IR) are available upon request to support your R&D and quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
