Quality Control

Our n-Octyl-4-Metylpyridinium Tetrafluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, identification by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, and determination of key impurities such as halides and water content (KF). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications and research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under dry conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and fluorides.
