Quality Control

Our Dichlorotris(Triphenylphosphine)Ruthenium(II) is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including purity assay and identity confirmation, to meet the stringent requirements of catalytic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air and light should be avoided to maintain stability and catalytic performance.
