Quality Control

Our Bis(Butane-2,3-Glycolato)Diboron is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency suitable for demanding synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry place to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
