Quality Control

Our 1,3-Bis(2-Iodoethyl)Urea is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon for long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
