Quality Control

Our Bis(Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)Calcium is produced and handled under stringent inert atmosphere conditions to ensure purity and reactivity. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to verify identity and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is both hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). It must be stored under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. The container should be kept sealed and only opened in a certified inert atmosphere glovebox.
