Quality Control

Our N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-Hydroxyacetamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your R&D and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
