Quality Control

Our Diphenylgermanium Dichloride is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
