Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Phenylindole-3-Carboxaldehyde is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high-purity standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles by HPLC, NMR, and other relevant techniques is available for each lot 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 sensitivity, the material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
