Quality Control

Every batch of 1-(Bromomethyl)-2-(4-Methylphenoxy)Benzene is manufactured under strict quality management systems and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing. We guarantee high chemical purity and lot-to-lot consistency to meet the stringent requirements of research and process development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing specifications for identity, purity (typically by HPLC or GC), and impurity profile 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, and 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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
