Quality Control

Our 2-(Allyloxy)-4-Nitrobenzyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and GC to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with 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 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.
