Quality Control

Every batch of 2,2-Difluoro-2-(3-Fluorophenyl)Ethanol is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for sensitive synthetic applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing key parameters such as identity, assay, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
