Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-5-Iodo-4-Methyl-Benzaldehyde is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
