Quality Control

Our 3-Phenyl Propionyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of cGMP and ISO standards for advanced chemical intermediates.

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 hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
