Quality Control

Our 5-tert-Butyl-3-Chloro-2-Hydroxy-Benzaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to maintain optimal quality.
