Quality Control

Our high-purity organometallic catalysts are manufactured and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity, purity, and the absence of critical metallic impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; ensure containers are sealed immediately after use and handled in a dry, oxygen-free environment.
