Quality Control

Every batch of Amberlite Xe 64 is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Key parameters such as exchange capacity, moisture content, particle size distribution, and uniformity coefficient are rigorously verified to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications is provided with each shipment. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical (GMP), food, and high-purity industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the resin moist as supplied; do not allow it to dry out. Isolate from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. For long-term storage, ensure the container is sealed to prevent moisture loss or contamination.
