Quality Control

Our 4,6-Dichloro-2-Fluoro-3-Methoxybenzyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
