Quality Control

Our 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)Butyraldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
