Quality Control

Our Dimethyl Telluride is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis using techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and NMR to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
