General description

Iron(II) oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as superparamagnetic behavior, ease of surface modification, and biocompatibility. They are applied in the fields of photocatalysis, magnetic storage media, targeted drug delivery, and gas sensing.
Iron(II) oxide, also known as ferrous oxide or wustite, is a chemical compound with the formula FeO. It is a fine, grey-black powder with a 10-mesh particle size. Iron(II) oxide adopts a cubic, rock salt structure and often exists as a non-stoichiometric, iron-deficient compound in which some of the iron is oxidized to a 3+ oxidation state. Iron(II) oxide is shelf-stable at room temperature but at 575 °C tends to disproportionate to iron metal and Fe3O4. One of its primary applications is as a black pigment in paints, inks, and ceramics.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. 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.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. 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
