Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(3-Fluoro-5-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenyl)Ethanol is produced and analyzed under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, 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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and fluorides.
