Quality Control

Our (Z)-3-Chloro-3-Phenyl-Prop-2-Enal is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
