Quality Control

Our Di-n-Octylaluminum Iodide is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept sealed and away from heat, ignition sources, moisture, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizing agents, and water.
