Quality Control

Our Radium Hydroxide is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure purity and consistency for research and industrial use. All materials are subject to rigorous analytical testing, including assays for radium content and checks for specific radioactive impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing radioactivity levels, purity, and other critical parameters is provided with each batch to ensure full traceability and compliance with relevant safety and handling regulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially designed container for radioactive materials, protected from light and stored in a designated, secure, and ventilated area. Storage temperature should be maintained at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment. All storage and handling must comply with national and international regulations for radioactive substances.
