Quality Control

Our 2,4-Dichloro-6-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to verify identity and quantify impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and specific impurity limits is provided with each shipment. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
