Quality Control

Our Cadmium is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques, including atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) methods, to meet exacting customer and industry specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, trace metal analysis, and physical characteristics are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), it is recommended to store under an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen and in a desiccated environment to prevent surface oxidation and moisture absorption. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
