Quality Control

Our production of 4-Bromo-2-Fluoro-6-Hydroxymethyl-Phenol adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and reliability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We are committed to meeting the exacting standards required for research and cGMP manufacturing applications.

Storage

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