Quality Control

Our 9-Phenanthrylmagnesium Bromide is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and concentration (typically supplied as a solution in THF or diethyl ether). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay (by titration), residual solvent, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for research and development use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent decomposition. For solutions, store at 2-8°C in the original sealed container. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizers. Use only in a well-ventilated fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment.
