Quality Control

Our Xylyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile determination by GC or HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and away from heat and ignition sources.
