Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Bromo-2-Fluoro-5-Methylbenzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and MS to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical data is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
