Quality Control

Our Calcium Borohydride Bis(Tetrahydrofuran) is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis, to meet the stringent requirements of our industrial and research partners. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container should be kept sealed and allowed to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress and product loss. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
