Quality Control

Our high-purity organometallic catalysts are produced and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to ensure integrity. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity, purity, and catalytic activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are provided to support your research and quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a dry, cool environment. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or elevated temperatures will degrade the product.
