Advantages of beaded morphology
- Increase crucible loading beyond the limitation imposed by apparent powder density
- Increase crystal yield
- Reduce surface area; minimizes moisture adsorption, especially for hygroscopic material
- Reduce static buildup; ideal for handling in a safe, dust free manner
- Accurate doping to specific levels
|
Quality Assurance
- Sophisticated analytical capabilities including ICP-MS trace metals analysis to ensure the highest quality materials
- Material sealed in ampules using rigorous argon atmosphere glove box conditions
- Dedicated dry room for packaging bulk quantities of hygroscopic salts

"Nines Purity"
The purity of our crystal grade inorganics is determined by:
- Thorough analysis of all impurities using ICP-MS
- Purity reported as total impurities subtracted from 100%
- Batch-specific trace impurities are included in every Certificate of Analysis and provided with each shipment
