Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(4-Fluorophenyl)Benzyl Alcohol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

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 nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
