Quality Control

Our Rubidium85 is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques such as Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance, metallic purity, and trace impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, this material must be stored under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizers. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
