Quality Control

Our 1-Bromo-3-Chloropropane is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO standards for industrial and research 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, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable.
