Quality Control

Our Aluminium(I)Fluoride is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to ensure compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is sensitive to moisture and strong alkalis; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent degradation. Isolate from incompatible materials.
