Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(3-Fluoro-Phenyl)-Propionaldehyde is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace and avoid prolonged exposure to air after opening.
