Quality Control

Our Lithium 3,5-Diiodosalicylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay (by titration or HPLC), identification (IR), and control of related substances. Specifications are aligned with research and pharmaceutical intermediate grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
