Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-2',5'-Dichlorobiphenyl is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by FT-IR and purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
