Quality Control

Our production of (5-Chloro-2-Iodophenyl)Methanol adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, GC for residual solvents, and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and reliability. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting all critical parameters. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for customers in regulated industries.

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, the container should be amber-colored or stored in opaque secondary packaging.
