Quality Control

Our 6-(2-Iodophenyl)-6-Oxohexanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for demanding research and development applications. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each batch, detailing all relevant specifications.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
