Quality Control

Every batch of our chiral ruthenium catalyst is synthesized and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to preserve its catalytic activity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR (1H, 31P, 19F), and elemental analysis to verify identity, purity, and enantiomeric integrity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and support your 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, cold environment. This compound is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or ambient temperature will degrade its performance.
