Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-4-Aminobenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air upon opening.
