Quality Control

Our Calcium 2-(4-Chloro-2-Methylphenoxy)Propionate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer and research-grade specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
