Quality Control

Our Cadmium Potassium Iodide is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
