Quality Control

Every batch of 2,3-Dichloro-6-Fluoro-Dl-Phenylalanine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
