Quality Control

Our 4-Chloro-2-Fluororesorcinol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our global clientele. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO standards for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

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. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
