Description

Radiumnitrate CAS NO 10213-12-4 is an inorganic salt of the radioactive element radium, primarily used as a source material in specialized industrial and research applications. Its significance lies in its controlled radioactivity, which is harnessed for precise measurement and calibration purposes. This compound is essential for industries and research institutions involved in radiation source manufacturing, instrument calibration, and historical or scientific studies of radioactive materials.

Application

• Radiation Source Manufacturing: Used as a precursor material in the production of sealed radioactive sources for industrial gauging and radiography.
• Instrument Calibration: Serves as a reference standard for calibrating radiation detection and measurement equipment, such as Geiger counters and scintillators.
• Scientific Research: Employed in academic and governmental laboratories for studies in nuclear chemistry, radiochemistry, and the historical analysis of radioactive compounds.
• Luminescent Material Production: Historically used in the manufacture of self-luminous paints for dials and instruments (now largely replaced by safer alternatives).
• Medical Research Applications: Utilized in controlled experimental settings for historical or comparative studies in radiation therapy development.

Quality Control

All batches of Radiumnitrate are produced and handled under strict quality protocols in compliance with relevant nuclear material safety and handling regulations. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing to ensure isotopic purity and chemical composition meet specified requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing radionuclidic purity, specific activity, and chemical assay is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a dedicated, secure, and properly shielded facility designed for radioactive materials. Maintain at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the storage area must be kept dry with low humidity. All storage and handling must conform to national and international regulations for radioactive substances (e.g., IAEA standards).
