Quality Control

Our Molybdenum Telluride is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase identification and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis for elemental purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, particle size, and phase composition is provided with each shipment to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications.

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 moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen for long-term storage to prevent oxidation.
