Quality Control

Our Butyl(1-Methylethoxy)Magnesium is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Quality is verified through analytical techniques including titration and gas chromatography. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and solvent content is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and pyrophoric nature, it must be handled exclusively under inert conditions. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
