Quality Control

Our 1-Chloro-10-Iododecane is manufactured under stringent quality systems to meet the exacting requirements of research and industrial synthesis. Every batch is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques (GC, HPLC, NMR) to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers' regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the light-sensitive and reactive halogen nature of the compound, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity and stability.
