Quality Control

Our (4-Phenoxyphenyl)Acetyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after each use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition. Observe all local regulations for the storage of reactive acid chlorides.
