Quality Control

Our [Cu(Cod)Cl]2 is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, 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 under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry place. This material is easily oxidized and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); prolonged exposure to air or moisture will degrade product performance. Handle and open containers only in a controlled, moisture-free environment.
