Quality Control

Our production of 3-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)Benzoic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
