Quality Control

Every batch of 1-Propylbutylzinc Bromide is manufactured and analyzed under stringent quality protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and impurity profiles. Our quality system is designed to meet the exacting standards of cGMP and ISO guidelines where applicable, supporting its use in regulated research and development.

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 between 2°C and 8°C. The storage area should be cool, dry, and well-ventilated, away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizers, and water sources.
