Gallium (31) [Ga]

The symbol "N" is used to avoid confusion when referring to high purities. So 2N means 99% purity, 2N5 = 99.5%, 5N8 = 99.9998%, 6N = 99.9999% and so on. Rare earth purities are based only on purities compared to other rare earths. Rare earth metals can also contain additional unavoidable impurities from reducing agents and/or crucible materials.

We currently offer two purities, 4N (99.99%) and 6N (99.9999%). The raw material for the 6N granules is 7N, but when repackaging into the small bottles, airborne contamination must be assumed, which is why we declare it as 6N.
