Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dichloro-6-Fluorobenzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. For projects requiring specific regulatory support, we can discuss documentation aligned with cGMP or other relevant standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque packaging or amber glass.
