Quality Control

Our Butyloctylmagnesium-A is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Quality is verified through analytical techniques including titration for assay determination and gas chromatography (GC) to monitor impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and solvent content is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, the reagent must be handled exclusively under inert conditions. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
