Quality Control

Our 2,2-(2-Chlorophenyl-4'-Chlorophenyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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). Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
