FAQs
1. What is the actual gold content in this Gold(III) oxide product?
The product contains a minimum of 88.6% gold by weight, with the remaining composition primarily being oxygen and trace elements that meet the 99.99% metals basis purity specification.
2. How does the Premion|r grade differ from standard laboratory grades?
Premion|r grade represents the highest purity tier available, with stricter controls on trace impurities, more rigorous quality testing, and tighter specifications for particle size distribution compared to standard laboratory grades.
3. What is the typical shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container under inert atmosphere at room temperature, this Gold(III) oxide maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Are there any special handling precautions required for this compound?
While not highly reactive, this material should be handled in a well-ventilated fume hood using standard laboratory practices for metal oxides, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
5. What analytical methods are used to verify the 99.99% purity claim?
The purity is verified through a combination of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace element analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase purity confirmation.
