Quality Control

Our Ethylmagnesium Iodide is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration for assay determination and impurity profiling, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can support requirements for cGMP manufacturing where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as moisture, acids, and oxidizers.
