Quality Control

Our 2-(5-Bromo-2-(Hydroxymethyl)Phenyl)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to confirm identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccant.
