Quality Control

Our (4-Chloro-2-Tetradecylphenoxy)Acetyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC or titration), impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
