Quality Control

Every batch of 2,2-Difluoro-2-(2-Fluorophenyl)Ethanol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your R&D and scale-up activities.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
