Quality Control

Our Zirconium96 is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for research-grade applications. Each batch is characterized using high-precision mass spectrometry (ICP-MS, TIMS) to verify isotopic enrichment levels and trace metallic impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance, chemical purity, and analytical methods is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry, clean environment. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere such as argon is recommended to prevent surface oxidation.
