Quality Control

Our Dibutyl Magnesium is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. The production process adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, and all materials are handled in controlled, moisture-free environments. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and solution concentration (if applicable) is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, this material must be stored and handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen). Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as water, acids, and oxidizing agents. The recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability, though specific conditions may vary based on the formulation (e.g., solution in specific solvents).
