Quality Control

Every batch of 2,3-Epoxy-3-(4-Bromophenyl)-1-Propanol is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for fine chemical intermediates. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, is performed. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
