Quality Control

Our n-Fluoropyridinium Pyridine Heptafluorodiborate is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is characterized by NMR (¹H, ¹⁹F, ¹¹B) and HPLC analysis to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided to support your quality assurance and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
