Quality Control

Our 2-Vinylbenzaldehyde undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We implement strict in-process controls and final release testing, including assay and impurity profiling by chromatographic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results are available upon request for every batch.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
