Quality Control

Every batch of Iron Dodecacarbonyl, Stabilised With 5-10% Methanol, 95% is manufactured and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for industrial and research applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and stabilizer content are available upon request.

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 nature as an organometallic compound that is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive (store away from light), it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
