Quality Control

Our 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)-2-(4-Chlorophenyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and related substances. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
