Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid, Indium Salt is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for demanding electronic and catalytic applications. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) for metal content, Karl Fischer titration for moisture, and chromatographic methods for organic purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when possible to prevent oxidation and moisture uptake. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
