Quality Control

Our Magnesium Dodecahydrododecaborate is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development purposes. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, boron content, and impurity profiles. For specialized applications, we can discuss custom purity grades and analytical testing to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. The container should be kept in a well-ventilated area and separated from strong oxidizing agents.
