Quality Control

Our 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)Propionyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and highly volatile; containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition.
