Quality Control

Our 3-Chloro-4-(Trifluoromethoxy)Cinnamic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
