Quality Control

Our Tetra-n-Butylammonium Dibromoaurate is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high chemical purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay determination, identification by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
