Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Bromo-4-Ethylphenoxy)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent, keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
