Quality Control

Our [2-(Benzyloxy)-4-Bromo-5-Methylphenyl]Methanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high purity and consistent identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients' regulatory requirements.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
