Quality Control

Our Scandium(III) Bromide Hydrate ≥99.99% is manufactured under controlled conditions to meet exacting standards for trace metal analysis. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing, including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and titration methods, to verify purity and confirm the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and loss on drying is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere or in a desiccator to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
