Quality Control

Every batch of our chiral rhodium catalyst is synthesized and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to preserve its catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify chemical identity, purity, and chiral integrity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, enantiomeric excess (ee), and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to ensure it meets your specific research or process requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. The product is easily oxidized and moisture-sensitive; ensure containers are sealed immediately after use and stored in a cool, dry place.
