Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(3-Chloro-4-Methylphenyl)Phenylacetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the exacting standards required for research and process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
