Quality Control

Our (5-Chloro-1-Benzothiophen-3-Yl)Methanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
