Quality Control

Our 4-(2-Chloro-Phenoxymethyl)-Benzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is 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 (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.
