Quality Control

Our Tetrabutylammonium Tetrathiorhenate (Vii) is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including spectroscopic and chromatographic methods, to verify identity and assay. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent decomposition.
