Quality Control

Our Ethylmagnesium Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration for assay determination and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration (for solutions), and solvent content is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For solutions, store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified) to maintain stability.
