Quality Control

Our Benzoic Acid, 2-Fluoro-5-Sulfino- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation and incompatibility with strong alkalis and fluorides, the material should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage and kept separate from incompatible substances.
