Quality Control

Our 1-Naphthylzinc Iodide is produced under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and concentration (typically supplied as a solution in THF or other ethers). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, residual metals, and solvent content are provided. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive and moisture-sensitive nature, this product must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. The container must be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizing agents, and moisture.
