What source for Lanthanum Chloride?

[LobsterOfJustice]

What specific product is everyone using for lanthanum chloride? I’m a little uncomfortable using pool grade chemicals and I’d rather source some kind of high quality powder and mix it myself but if plenty of other people are using the pool product then I guess it’s safe enough. Just don’t want to be a guinea pig.

ATM (Acrylic Tank Manuf.) from the TV Show "Tanked" makes a lanthanum chloride product called Agent Green.

Surely they do not make it. They buy something and repackage it and sell it. Hopefully, it is adequately pure.

Right, that is my concern as well.

Just want something other people are successfully using.

I do not really have a brand I recommend. Many are probably fine, as would a DIY that is ACS reagent grade (but that doesn't make it cheap).
