Quality Control

Our Lithium Iodide is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We offer various purity grades, including anhydrous and trihydrate forms, tailored to meet specific application requirements from industrial to high-purity research. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen for long-term storage of anhydrous grades. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.
