Quality Control

Our Potassium Octyltrifluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and HPLC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency suitable for demanding synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for every lot upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
