Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-4,5-Dichloro-Phenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to verify identity and purity against established specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and bases. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in light-resistant packaging.
