Quality Control

Our 5-Chloro-2-Fluorobenzamide is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the specified 97+% minimum purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance data for your regulatory needs.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
