Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dichlorobenzylzinc Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration for zinc content and chromatographic methods (GC/HPLC) to confirm identity and assess purity and solvent composition for solution grades. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive and moisture-sensitive nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for solutions or as specified. The storage area should be cool, dry, and well-ventilated, away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizers, and water sources.
