Quality Control

Our 1-(3-Bromophenyl)-2-Hydroxyethan-1-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive 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 development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided for 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 sensitivity to light and potential for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
