Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-6-Chloroacetophenone is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC/GC purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every batch and supplied upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed and away from direct light sources to maintain stability and purity.
