Quality Control

Our 2-Chloro-4-Fluorophenethyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to meet exacting customer specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed-upon standards for identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

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 its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque packaging or amber glass.
