Quality Control

Our 4-Chloro-2-(Trifluoromethoxy)Phenylacetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its acidic nature, ensure containers are made of compatible materials and are properly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
