Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Amino-3,5-Diiodobenzoic Acid is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the high-purity standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed and away from direct light to maintain stability and purity.
