Quality Control

Every batch of 5-Chloro-1-(4-Iodophenyl)-1-Oxopentane is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for fine chemical intermediates. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, is performed to verify identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or stored in dark conditions.
