Quality Control

Our 2-Iodo-4-Methylphenyl 4-Methylphenylsulfonate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be amber-colored or stored in a dark environment. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
