Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-4-Fluorophenacyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque or amber glass, or stored in dark conditions.
