Quality Control

Our Iridium(III) Bromide Hydrate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as iridium content, bromide content, and trace metal impurities are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
