Quality Control

Our Calcium Carbonate-14C is produced and handled under strict quality systems to ensure radiochemical purity and specific activity consistency. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as radiochemical purity, specific activity, and chemical identification. We adhere to relevant guidelines for the handling of radioactive materials to ensure product integrity and safety for research use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a designated area for radioactive materials according to local safety regulations. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent uptake of moisture and CO2.
