Quality Control

Our 2-(3-Chloro-4-Cyanophenyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for GMP and non-GMP synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
