Quality Control

Our Strontium Arsenite Tetrahydrate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including identification, assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity and specific test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
