Quality Control

Our Tris(Cyclopentadienyl)Scandium is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical metallic impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), this material must be stored under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. The container should be kept sealed and only opened in a moisture-free, inert atmosphere glovebox.
