Quality Control

Our 1,6-Dicarbahexaborane(6),2-Chloro- is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR spectroscopy and chromatographic methods, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation.
