Quality Control

Our 7-(4-Iodophenyl)-7-Oxoheptanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
