Quality Control

Our Dysprosium161 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to verify isotopic purity, chemical purity, and the absence of specified contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance and impurity profiles are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized material, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
