Quality Control

Our 4-Chlorobiphenyl-2-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Specifications can be aligned with cGMP or other relevant quality frameworks upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
