Quality Control

Our Strontium(+2) Cation materials are produced and controlled under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay and impurity profiles via techniques like ICP-MS and ICP-OES. Specifications can be tailored to meet the requirements of various pharmacopeial (e.g., USP, EP) or industrial standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere when appropriate to prevent contamination and degradation.
