Quality Control

Our Tris(N n-Bis(Trimethylsilyl)Amide)Lutetium is manufactured under strict inert atmosphere conditions to ensure purity and reactivity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to confirm identity and composition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metal content, and solvent residues is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or process requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C to minimize degradation. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container should only be opened in a controlled, moisture-free environment.
