Quality Control

Our Lithium Tetramethylborate(1-) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. All materials undergo rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and titration methods, to verify identity and assay. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to ensure compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, this material must be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent degradation from moisture and oxygen.
