Quality Control

Our (1-Methylpentyl)Magnesium Bromide is produced and handled under stringent quality systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and reactivity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing concentration (typically supplied in solution), assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its nature as a highly volatile and moisture-sensitive Grignard reagent, it must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for solutions. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and any source of ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, segregated from incompatible materials.
