Quality Control

Our Tridecylbromomagnesium is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm concentration (typically supplied as a solution in THF or diethyl ether), purity, and reactivity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, solvent content, and titration data is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this product must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. For solutions, store at 2-8°C to maintain stability and reactivity. Keep away from moisture, heat, and incompatible materials such as acids, oxidizers, and protic solvents.
