Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Hydroxy-5-Iodo-Phenyl)-Ethanone is produced under strict quality management protocols. We ensure batch-to-batch consistency through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are provided with every shipment. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

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 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 flames.
