Quality Control

Our Dichlorotricarbonylruthenium (II) Dimer is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including FT-IR, elemental analysis (EA), and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for metal content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the container should be kept sealed and allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
