Quality Control

Our 1-(3-Chloromethylphenyl)-2-Phenylethanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and identity confirmation. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring the material meets the stringent requirements for use in regulated synthesis pathways.

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. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
