Quality Control

Our Sodium Telluride is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include assay, identification, and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results for each batch is provided to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. The container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
