Quality Control

Our Platinum Nanocage is manufactured under controlled conditions and subjected to rigorous analytical characterization. Quality is assured through advanced techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing particle size distribution, surface area, and platinum content is provided with each batch to ensure compliance with your research and development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry environment. For long-term stability, storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) is recommended to prevent surface oxidation.
