Quality Control

Our 6-Chloro-3-Indoxyl Palmitate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and diagnostic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider keeping the product under inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent potential oxidation. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
