Quality Control

Our Dimethiodal Sodium is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical intermediates. Each batch is tested against comprehensive specifications, including identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results from tests such as HPLC, residual solvents, and heavy metals is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
