Quality Control

Our 3'-Bromo-3-Phenylpropiophenone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to guarantee consistent quality and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 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. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
