Quality Control

Our Cerium136 is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis using advanced techniques like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, reporting isotopic abundance, elemental impurities, and other critical parameters 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). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and strong oxidizing agents. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) is recommended to prevent surface oxidation.
