Quality Control

Our Cesium-136 is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Each batch is analyzed via high-resolution mass spectrometry to confirm isotopic enrichment and the absence of significant radioactive contaminants. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance, chemical purity, and trace metal analysis is provided with every shipment to meet the exacting standards of research and industrial applications.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation.
