Quality Control

Our 3-Bromo-4,5-Dihydroxybenzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and consistent quality.

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 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 flames.
