Quality Control

Our Ytterbium Dtpa is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay (Titration), identification (IR), and trace metal analysis (ICP). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
