Quality Control

Our Gadolinium Ethyl Sulfate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay (Gd content) and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
