Quality Control

Our Clophen A60 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and accurate congener composition. While this is a technical-grade material for controlled industrial and research use, we provide comprehensive analytical data. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for every batch, confirming key parameters such as chlorine content and congener profile via GC analysis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong acids, organic solvents, and oxidizing agents. Due to its chemical nature, it should be kept under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation and stored at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
