Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-4-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-Methoxyphenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. We can support development projects requiring compliance with cGMP and other regulatory standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and potential for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
