Quality Control

Our 2-Benzyl-3-Bromopropan-1-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
