Quality Control

Our 1-Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloroaluminate(III)-Kit is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and titration methods, to ensure precise molar ratio control, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your research and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, this kit must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C. Handle and open containers in a controlled, dry environment to prevent hydrolysis and degradation.
