Quality Control

Our 1-Benzyloxy-3-Chloromethyl-Benzene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
