Quality Control

Our n-Octyl-3-Methylpyridinium Tetrafluoroborate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for water content, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases.
