Quality Control

Every batch of 2,3-Dichlorophenylzinc Iodide is produced and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to ensure consistency and reactivity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including titration for assay and GC analysis for solvent and impurity profiles, to ensure compliance with industry standards for high-purity organometallic reagents. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing concentration, purity, and solvent content are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizing agents, and moisture. Due to its hygroscopic and pyrophoric nature, all handling must be performed under inert gas using appropriate techniques.
