Quality Control

Our 3-Bromobenzylmagnesium Bromide is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and reactivity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing concentration (typically in standard solvents like THF or diethyl ether), titration assay, and impurity profile are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and highly volatile. It must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for solutions, or as specified on the label. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizers. Use only in a well-ventilated area with appropriate safety equipment.
