Quality Control

Our 2-Chlorocinnamaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via techniques such as HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
