Quality Control

Our 1,1'-Bis(Phosphino)Ferrocene is manufactured under strict quality protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the exacting standards required for catalytic and synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), it is recommended to store the material under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) atmosphere at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
