Quality Control

Our Bis(Cyclooctatetraene)Iron(0) is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and a minimum purity of 98%. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation requirements.

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 to maximize stability. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
