Quality Control

Our (3-Chloro-4-Fluorophenoxy)Acetyl Chloride is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specified parameters. Our commitment to consistent quality and traceability supports your critical R&D and manufacturing processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and water.
