Quality Control

Our Letetium Chloride n-Hydrate is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. We offer various purity grades, including high-purity (99.9%, 99.99%, and 99.999% trace metals basis), tailored to meet specific application requirements. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment ensures consistency and reliability for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere or in a desiccator to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
