Quality Control

Every batch of 1-(2-Chloronaphthalen-1-Yl)Ethanol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity (if applicable), and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
