Quality Control

Our 5-(Bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydronaphthalene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and elemental analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
