Quality Control

Our production of Benzenemethanol, -α--(Bromomethyl)-2-Methyl- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry for identity confirmation and purity assessment. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your internal quality standards.

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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and bases.
