Quality Control

Our Potassium 5-Oxohexyltrifluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 11B, 13C), HPLC, and KF titration, to ensure high purity and consistent performance for sensitive synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (argon/nitrogen) when possible to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
