Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(3-Chloro-4-Methylphenyl)Benzaldehyde is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
