Quality Control

Our Scandium-46 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure radionuclidic purity and specific activity meet research-grade standards. Each batch is supported by comprehensive documentation, including a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing radionuclidic purity, gamma spectrum analysis, and activity concentration at a reference date. We adhere to relevant radiation safety and material handling guidelines for isotopic products.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its radioactive nature and tendency for oxidation, store in a designated, shielded area under appropriate conditions as per local and international regulations for radioactive materials. Storage temperature is typically controlled at 15-25°C unless otherwise specified for a specific chemical form.
