Quality Control

Our Lithium-6 Deuteride is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure isotopic and chemical purity for critical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (^6Li atom %), chemical assay, and impurity profiles. We adhere to rigorous internal standards and can support compliance with specific customer and research-grade specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
