Quality Control

Our production of Ethyl 2-[Bis(4-Hydroxyphenyl)Methyl]Benzoate adheres to stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our commitment to cGMP principles and REACH compliance ensures a reliable supply for global markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
