Quality Control

Our (1-Methylpentyl)Magnesium Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm concentration, purity, and suitability for sensitive synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, titration results, and solvent content is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and pyrophoric nature, it must be handled exclusively under inert conditions. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
