Quality Control

Our 2-Propenal, 3-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-Methyl- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting research and development standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, minimize exposure to air and light during handling.
