Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with high-purity standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity, solvent content, and impurity profiles. We adhere to strict in-process controls and analytical protocols, including titration, NMR, and Karl Fischer moisture analysis, to guarantee the reliability and performance of our Calcium Borohydride Bis-Thf Complex.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept sealed and handled in a dry environment. Long-term storage at 2-8°C is recommended to maintain optimal stability and performance.
