Quality Control

Our Dodecahydro-Arachno-Bis(Acatonitrile)Decaborane is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Handle and dispense in a controlled, moisture-free environment.
