Quality Control

Every batch of (S)-Ethyl 3-Hydroxy-4-iodobutanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment. Our quality protocols are designed to support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for advanced intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air and light should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
