Quality Control

Our (4-(4-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)Phenoxy)Phenyl)Methanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and mass spectrometry, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided for every shipment.

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 flames.
