FAQs

1. What is the significance of the Puratronic™ grade in these aluminum slugs?

The Puratronic™ grade indicates an extremely high level of purity, specifically 99.9999% in this case. This level of purity is crucial for applications where even trace amounts of impurities could affect experimental outcomes or material properties. The rigorous purification process ensures consistent quality and reliability in research applications.

2. Are these aluminum slugs compatible with standard laboratory equipment?

Yes, these slugs are designed to be compatible with most standard laboratory equipment. Their precise dimensions of 6.35mm diameter and length allow them to fit into common sample holders and measurement devices. The material’s purity also means it won’t react unexpectedly with typical lab apparatus.

3. How should these high-purity aluminum slugs be stored to maintain their quality?

To preserve the ultra-high purity of these aluminum slugs, they should be stored in a clean, dry environment, preferably in their original packaging until use. Avoid exposure to moisture, corrosive atmospheres, or potential contaminants. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator or inert gas atmosphere to prevent oxidation.

4. What alternatives exist if I need a different form of high-purity aluminum?

If the slug form doesn’t suit your application, alternatives might include aluminum foil, wire, or powder in similar purity grades. The choice depends on your specific experimental requirements, with each form offering different advantages in terms of surface area, handling characteristics, and suitability for particular analytical techniques.

5. How is the purity of these aluminum slugs verified and documented?

The purity of these aluminum slugs is verified through rigorous analytical testing during production. Each batch typically comes with a certificate of analysis that documents the exact purity level and any trace impurities present. This certification provides assurance of the material’s quality and consistency for research applications.
