Quality Control

Our (3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)Acetyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) where applicable. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles, verified by techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR. We support compliance with global regulatory standards such as REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
