Quality Control

Our 4-n-Pentylphenylzinc Iodide is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and solution concentration (typically supplied in THF or ether). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, impurity profiles, and moisture content. Our quality management system supports compliance with cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. For optimal stability, maintain at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
