Quality Control

Our B-Decachloro-1,2-Dicarbadecaborane is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment, NMR for structural confirmation, and elemental analysis, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your research and production needs.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
