Quality Control

Our Pr(Fod)3 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and ICP-MS for trace metal analysis, to ensure compliance with exacting R&D and industrial standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment, ideally under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
