Quality Control

Our Rubidium Fluoride Hydrate is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, water content, and impurity levels. We adhere to relevant industry guidelines to support our customers' quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with minimal exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen in a desiccator is recommended. Store at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C).
