Quality Control

Our (Z)-Dibutylhex-1-Enylaluminium is manufactured and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to ensure purity and reactivity. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing, including NMR and titration assays, to confirm identity, purity, and active aluminum content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your internal quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C or as specified on the label. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture ingress and pressure buildup. Store away from strong acids, oxidizers, and moisture sources.
