Quality Control

Our Dl-4-Chloro-2-(α-Methylbenzyl)Phenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specifications and test results to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
