Quality Control

Our Di-sec-Butylmagnesium - Lithium Chloride is manufactured under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for critical synthetic applications. All materials are accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, concentration, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and our quality management system supports the needs of cGMP-compliant manufacturing processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at recommended temperatures, typically between 2°C and 8°C for extended stability. This material is both hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it must be handled and stored under strictly anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions to maintain purity and reactivity.
