Quality Control

Our high-purity organometallic catalysts undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as Rhodium content, ligand purity, and solvent residues. Our quality management system adheres to cGMP principles where applicable, supporting use in regulated synthesis pathways.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. The material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or ambient light should be avoided. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
