Quality Control

Our 8-Hydroxyquinolinolato-Lithium is produced under stringent conditions to meet the exacting purity requirements of the electronics industry. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, ICP-MS, and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the material should be handled in a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., glovebox) for long-term storage and critical applications to prevent degradation.
