Quality Control

Our Dichloro(p-Cymene)Ruthenium(II) Dimer is manufactured under controlled conditions and undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with industry standards. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and easily oxidized; ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to minimize exposure to air and humidity.
