Quality Control

Our 2,4-Dichloro-5-Iodobenzoic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment, supporting compliance with research and cGMP-grade requirements for advanced intermediates.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
