Quality Control

Our 2-Chloro-3-Methoxybenzoic Acid 97 is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
