Quality Control

Our Neodymium Citrate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure it meets high-purity standards, with key parameters including assay (Nd content), identification, and control of heavy metal impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product must be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator or inert atmosphere to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
