Quality Control

Our Barium Strontium Niobate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase purity, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for elemental composition, and laser particle size analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
