Quality Control

Our Hafnium-180 isotope is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized for isotopic enrichment (typically >99% 180Hf) and elemental purity using advanced analytical techniques including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance, metallic impurities, and physical form is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage of fine powders, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) is recommended to minimize surface oxidation. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
