Quality Control

Our Cyclohexylmagnesium Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical processes. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable, and our quality systems are designed to meet the exacting standards of the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and impurity profiles. Our QC procedures include rigorous titration for assay determination and advanced analytical techniques to verify identity and quality.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts violently with water and protic solvents. Store under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For solutions, typical recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maintain stability and concentration. Keep away from incompatible materials such as acids, alcohols, and oxidizing agents.
