Quality Control

Our Gadolinium Antimonide (GdSb) is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure high chemical purity and consistent particle morphology, critical for research reproducibility and device performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metallic impurities, and physical characteristics are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent surface oxidation.
