Quality Control

Our 3-Iodo-L-Tyrosine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral purity verification, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
