Quality Control

Our 4-n-Butyl-3'-Iodobenzophenone is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, supporting compliance with research and development standards.

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). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
