Hi,

I am trying to buy new Palladium to be used as barcodes. However, I was told that there are 2 versions (Nitrate vs Metal). Which should I buy?
Do I just resuspend the powder and use it directly as barcodes?

Many Thanks in Advance

Hi Tan,

There have been some previous discussions about metal isotopes and which form you want to buy. For example, here's a thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3&p=2681&hilit=nitrate+salt#p2681

In short: you want the nitrate salt for Palladium. Technically, you could get the metal and dissolve it yourself, but that wouldn't be worth the trouble.
