Quality Control

Our Heptylmagnesium Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm concentration, purity, and suitability for sensitive synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration), solvent content, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 area. This material is highly volatile, hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), and easily oxidized. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, water, and oxidizing agents.
