Quality Control

Our 19-Iodo-3-Methyl-18-Nonadecenoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay purity and identity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, handling and storage should minimize exposure to direct light.
