Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Fluorophenyl)Benzyl Alcohol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

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 strong oxidizing agents.
