Quality Control

Our 1-Octyl-2,3-Dimethylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, water content, halide content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
