Quality Control

Our Bis(Triethylphosphine)Nickel(II) Chloride is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to confirm identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant quality management standards to support our customers in regulated and non-regulated research and production environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and decomposition. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Allow the sealed container to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
