Quality Control

Our 3-Bromo-2,6-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with customer specifications and relevant industry standards.

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 from atmospheric moisture.
