Quality Control

Our 2-Phenyl-Propionyl Chloride is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis by GC/HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts with water, strong bases, and alcohols. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent degradation from moisture absorption.
