Quality Control

Our (3-Fluoro-4-Phenylphenyl)Methanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, supporting your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
