Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-1-(4-Nitrophenyl)Ethanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
