Quality Control

Our Holmium Iodide is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including titration, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
