Quality Control

Our Hexafluoroarsenic, Triphenylsulfanium is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is 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, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
