Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-6-Isopropoxyphenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, GC for residual solvents, and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air.
