Quality Control

Our Erbium Nitride is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container should be kept tightly sealed in a desiccator when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
