Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-5-Iodo-3-Methylbenzenemethanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics.

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 each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
