Quality Control

Our Lutetium Telluride is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assays for purity and identification of key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development specifications.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and may require storage under an inert atmosphere or with desiccants for long-term preservation to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
