Quality Control

Our 3-Chlorocinnamaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can support documentation for cGMP, ISO, or other relevant quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
