Quality Control

Our high-purity organometallic catalysts undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis to verify identity and minimum 98% purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request. Our quality management system supports cGMP and ISO standards for traceability and documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C or as specified on the label or COA. This material is moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized; ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to exclude air and moisture. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
