Quality Control

Our Bromoacetic Acid, 2-Methylphenyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your precise research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. The container must be kept tightly sealed due to the compound's sensitivity to moisture and light.
