Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dichlorophenylacetic Acid Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and IR and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts violently with water, strong bases, and alcohols. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture and ensure maximum shelf life.
