Quality Control

Our Benzyl Alcohol, .Alpha.-(1-Bromoethyl)-, Formate, Threo- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the presence of a bromine atom and ester functionality, it should be stored separately from strong bases and reducing agents.
