Quality Control

Our Iodoacetic Acid (2E)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-Octadienyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in opaque secondary packaging.
