Description

Boric-10B Acid CAS NO 13813-79-1 is the isotopically enriched form of boric acid, where the boron atoms are predominantly the stable isotope Boron-10. This specific isotopic composition is critical for applications requiring high neutron absorption cross-section. It is an essential high-purity material for advanced research and specialized industrial processes. Key users include manufacturers in the nuclear technology sector, producers of radiation shielding materials, and research institutions focused on neutron capture therapy and semiconductor doping.

Application

• Neutron Shielding and Control: As a primary component in shields, control rods, and neutron detectors within nuclear reactors and research facilities due to the high neutron capture cross-section of 10B.
• Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT): Serves as a precursor for developing 10B-enriched pharmaceutical agents used in experimental cancer treatment.
• Semiconductor Industry: Used as a 10B dopant source in the production of specialized semiconductor devices, influencing electrical properties with isotopic precision.
• Analytical Standards & Research: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) in isotopic ratio analysis, geochemistry, and nuclear physics research.
• High-Performance Materials: Incorporation into ceramics, glasses, and composites designed for enhanced radiation resistance in aerospace and nuclear applications.

Quality Control

Our Boric-10B Acid is produced under controlled conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for isotopic ratio verification and titration/ICP-OES for chemical assay. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing 10B isotopic enrichment (typically >95% or as specified), chemical purity, and trace elemental impurities. Our quality system supports compliance with relevant research and nuclear material standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Use appropriate containment to prevent contamination and moisture uptake, which can affect isotopic assay and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases.
