Quality Control

Our Dicyclohexylhexylphosphine is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR, GC, and HPLC to verify identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its sensitivity, the container should be allowed to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
