Quality Control

Our Phenethylmagnesium Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm concentration, purity, and suitability for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, titration results, and solvent content are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic and pyrophoric nature, the reagent is typically supplied and stored as a solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) or diethyl ether. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as water, acids, and oxidizing agents.
