Quality Control

Our Benzeneacetic Acid, 2-Fluoro-α,4-Dihydroxy- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC, NMR, and MS to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request, supporting your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage of bulk quantities. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
