Quality Control

Every batch of 1,1'-Bis(Dichlorophosphino)Ferrocene is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Our quality assurance includes comprehensive analytical testing such as NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated research and development.

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 place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C. Due to its moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the container should only be opened in a controlled, dry environment.
