Quality Control

Our 4-Fluoro-3-(Phenylmethoxy)Benzenemethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
