Quality Control

Our Catasium(R) Mnbn(R)Rh catalyst is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and chiral analysis to verify enantiomeric excess (ee) capability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or elevated temperatures will degrade performance. Handle and open containers only in a controlled, dry inert atmosphere or glovebox.
