Quality Control

Our organogold catalyst is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and Elemental Analysis (CHNS), to confirm identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or ambient light should be avoided.
