Quality Control

Our Magnesium Dodecaboride is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. While specific grades are available for research and development purposes, all materials undergo rigorous quality testing, which may include analysis of boron and magnesium content, particle size distribution, and identification of key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific results for your batch is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizers. Due to its potential sensitivity to moisture and air, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) is recommended to maintain product integrity.
