Quality Control

Every batch of (3,4-Dichlorophenyl)Acetaldehyde is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

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 sensitivity to 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.
