Quality Control

Our Dichloro(p-Cymene)Tricyclohexylphosphineruthenium (II) is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to verify identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance in regulated research and production environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to minimize decomposition. The product is hygroscopic and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a cool, dry place and allowed to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
