Quality Control

Our Butanoyl Chloride, 2,4-Dihydroxy-3,3-Dimethyl- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
