Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(4-Fluoro-Phenylsulfanyl)-Ethanol is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the high-purity standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with specifications for identity, purity, and impurities is available for each lot upon request.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
