Quality Control

Our 2-Bromocinnamic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging during long-term storage.
