Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-6-Hydroxy-3-Methyl-Benzaldehyde is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production standards.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
