Quality Control

Our Potassium 2-Chloro-3-(Benzyloxy)Propionate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), related substances, residual solvents, and heavy metals. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
