Quality Control

Our Iron(1+) complex is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support demanding pharmaceutical and advanced material applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a desiccator.
