Quality Control

Our Dicyano-Bis-(1,10-Phenanthroline) Iron(II) Dihydrate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including spectroscopic identification and quantitative assay. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong alkalis and fluorides.
