Quality Control

Our (R)-1-(3-Bromophenyl)Ethanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) determination, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request.

Storage

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