Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(4-Bromo-2-Chlorophenoxy)Propanoyl Chloride is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high lot-to-lot consistency through rigorous analytical controls, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 decomposition. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and water.
