Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Bromo-1-Hydroxynaphthalen-2-Yl)Ethanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical synthetic workflows.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, 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.
