Quality Control

Our 3-(3-Iodo-Phenyl)-3-Oxo-Propionic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
