Quality Control

Our 4-Bromo-6-Hydroxyquinoline is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications. Custom purity grades, including HPLC >98% and >99%, are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged exposure to air should be avoided. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
