Quality Control

Our Benzeneethanol, 2-(Bromomethyl)- is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to the reactive bromomethyl group, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize potential decomposition.
