Quality Control

Our Lithium Aluminum Hydride Bis(Tetrahydrofuran) Complex is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, solvent content, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is strictly light-sensitive (protect from all light exposure), hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). For long-term stability, store under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, moisture, and incompatible materials such as acids, alcohols, and oxidizing agents.
