Quality Control

Our production of m-Cresol, 4-Amino-2-Chloro- adheres to a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet exacting standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support audits and can provide documentation for regulatory submissions as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
