Quality Control

Our 4-(4-Trifluoromethoxy Phenoxy)Benzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide full traceability and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed and under dry conditions to prevent degradation.
