Quality Control

Our Ytterbium-Doped Yttrium Oxide is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure precise dopant concentration, high chemical purity, and controlled particle characteristics. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing trace metal impurities, phase purity (XRD), and specific surface area. Our production adheres to relevant ISO guidelines, and material can be supplied to meet research-grade or commercial laser-grade specifications.

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 controlled humidity conditions (e.g., in a desiccator). Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
