Quality Control

Our 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-Hydroxybenzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your internal quality standards.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect purity and handling properties.
