Quality Control

Our 2,5-Dimethyl-4-Iodophenol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications. Custom purity grades and analytical packages 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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging during storage and handling.
