Quality Control

Our 3-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2',4'-Dimethylpropiophenone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request, supporting compliance with research and cGMP-grade requirements where applicable.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
