If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

What is the density of the product ( super paramagnetic iron oxide NP in toluene)
1 answer-
This product is not tested for density. The final concentration of the solution is 5 mg/mL nanoparticles in toluene. However, the density of the iron oxide nanoparticles is ~5.2 g/cm3. The density of 0.865 g/ml listed on the product page is in reference to the toluene, only.

What is the coating thickness of oleic acid on product number 700312, 700320, and 700304, Iron oxide(II,III), magnetic nanoparticles solution?
1 answer-
The suppliers of the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in toluene have indicated that the particles are essentially coated with a monolayer of oleic acid. Since the oleic acid is a long chain hydrocarbon there can exist some folding and irregular structure on the surface. The suppliers estimate that one should add 1-2 nm to the particle size due to the presence of the oleic acid coating. From this, 1.5 nm is the closest approximation of coating thickness as provided by our suppliers.

How should a sample of the Iron oxide(II,III), magnetic nanoparticles solution in toluene be prepared for analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM)?
1 answer-
The particle size is determined by TEM.If the solution as provided is not diluted, a superlattice of multilayer nanocrystals will form on the grid, appearing to be an aggregate. The solution can be diluted with the same solvent that it was shipped in (toluene). A solution diluted to 0.1-0.5 mg/mL should be concentrated enough to get a nice picture. One drop per grid should be sufficient. (Since the solution is provided at a concentration of 5 mg/mL, this would be a 10- to 50-fold dilution.)After applying the sample to the grid, a drying time of a minimum of 10-15 minutes is recommended.After performing several successful dilutions and getting good results, the analyst will get a feel for the correct dilution just by judging the color and darkness of the diluted sample. If you see lone isolated dots in the TEM, then your sample is too dilute. If you cannot distinguish separate particles, it is too concentrated. Good record keeping will help to zero in on the best dilution factor for the type of picture that you want.
