Quality Control

Every batch of (E)-Dec-1-Enyldioctylaluminium is produced and handled under a strict inert atmosphere to prevent decomposition. Our quality assurance includes rigorous analytical testing to confirm identity, purity, and reactivity profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration or NMR), aluminum content, and solvent residues are provided to ensure compliance with your research and process specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, this material must be stored under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as moisture, acids, and oxidizing agents.
