Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(4-Iodo-Benzoylamino)-Pentanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our standard grade meets high-purity research specifications, with typical purity ≥95% (HPLC). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results for assay, related substances, and identification is provided with each shipment. Custom synthesis and purification to meet specific project requirements (e.g., >98% or >99% purity) are available upon request.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, which may affect stability and handling properties.
