Quality Control

Every batch of 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-Phenylethane is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the precise requirements of research and process development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles by techniques such as GC, HPLC, and NMR is supplied with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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). Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to maintain optimal purity.
