Quality Control

Our 5-Bromo-2-Ethoxybenzyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles against established specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed and handled under an inert environment when opened.
