Quality Control

Our Dysprosiumchloride is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications, including purity, impurity profile, and loss on drying. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

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 under an inert atmosphere or in a desiccator to prevent hydrolysis and caking. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
