Quality Control

Our 4-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)Benzaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates under cGMP or ISO 9001 frameworks where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
