Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-2,4,6-Triiodobenzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling.
