Quality Control

Our Europium Acetate, 99.9% is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. The purity is verified to meet the specified 99.9% (REO) minimum, with trace metal impurities controlled to ppm levels. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each batch, detailing results from ICP-OES, titration, and other relevant analytical methods to ensure compliance with customer specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally at 15-25°C, under an inert atmosphere or in a desiccator to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Keep away from incompatible materials.
