Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,1,1,10,10,10-Hexachloro-4,4,7,7-Tetrakis[2-(Trichlorosilyl)Ethyl]-1,4,7,10-Tetrasiladecane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including spectroscopic methods (NMR, FT-IR) and chromatographic techniques (GC, HPLC), to ensure identity, purity, and batch-to-batch consistency for your research and production needs. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
