Quality Control

Our Bis(Cyclopentadienyl)Molybdenum Dichloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling, to meet stringent specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee product integrity for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
