Quality Control

Our Rubidium Azide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) where applicable. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay/purity, moisture content, and heavy metal limits. We support compliance with global regulatory frameworks, including REACH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent decomposition. Isolate from incompatible materials such as strong acids, heavy metals, and reducing agents. Follow all local and national regulations for the storage of energetic materials.
