Quality Control

Our 1-Ethylbutylzinc Bromide is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high reactivity and consistency. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including titration for active zinc content and spectroscopic analysis for identity and purity verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to maintain stability and minimize decomposition. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, handling must be performed under an inert atmosphere using appropriate techniques.
