Quality Control

Our Sodium Iodide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer various grades, including technical and higher purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. All batches undergo rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage of high-purity grades, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
