Quality Control

Our 1,1,4,4-Tetrakis(Trimethylsilyl)-1,3-Butadiene is manufactured under strict quality protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, GC, and HPLC analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
