Quality Control

Our Ethyl 6-(Chloromethyl)Picolinate Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance.
