Quality Control

Our 4-(3-Chloro-5-Fluorophenyl)-4-Oxobutyric Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
