Quality Control

Our Sodium is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. While specific grades (e.g., reagent, industrial) are available, all material is subject to rigorous analytical testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its reactive nature, sodium must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) or under a layer of mineral oil or kerosene to prevent oxidation and reaction with atmospheric moisture. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from water, acids, and oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
