Quality Control

Our Benzenemethanol, α-(Fluoronitromethyl)- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes. We support cGMP compliance for pharmaceutical applications and can tailor specifications to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in opaque secondary packaging.
