Quality Control

Our (+)-Iopanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific test results are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air during use.
