Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with industry standards. Key parameters such as assay (nickel content), identity, and impurity levels are strictly controlled. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results for each specific lot is available upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your processes.

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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to caking or decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials.
