Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-(2-Iodoethyl)- is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for research and development applications. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry for comprehensive characterization. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles against agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (typically 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 dark conditions.
