Quality Control

Our Benzoyl Chloride, 5-Acetyl-2-Hydroxy- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under dry, inert conditions (e.g., nitrogen atmosphere) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
