Quality Control

Every batch of Taniaphos SL-T002-1 undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive catalytic applications. Our quality assurance protocol includes advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods to verify identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your quality management systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
