Quality Control

Our 2-Methoxyphenethylmagnesium Bromide is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration for Grignard concentration and GC/HPLC analysis for purity and solvent content, to ensure consistency and reliability for your critical synthesis steps. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, this reagent must be stored under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C for solutions). Keep away from moisture, heat, and incompatible materials such as acids, oxidizers, and protic solvents.
