Quality Control

Our Diiodoacetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay (by HPLC or titration), melting point, and heavy metal content. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in opaque secondary packaging.
