Description

Xenon (129Xe) is the stable, non-radioactive isotope of xenon, a noble gas. It is a critical material for advanced research and medical diagnostics due to its unique nuclear spin properties. This high-purity isotope is essential for industries and institutions focused on cutting-edge applications in magnetic resonance imaging and fundamental physics research.

Application

• Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Used as a biosafe, inhalable contrast agent for high-resolution imaging of lungs and other void spaces, offering superior signal-to-noise ratios compared to conventional proton MRI.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Serves as a sensitive probe for studying porous materials, surface chemistry, and biological systems, enabling the analysis of structure and dynamics.
• Fundamental Physics Research: Utilized in experiments searching for electric dipole moments (EDM), testing fundamental symmetries, and in the development of atomic clocks and inertial navigation systems.
• Medical Research: Employed in the development of novel diagnostic techniques for pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
• Quantum Computing & Information Science: Acts as a potential qubit candidate due to its long nuclear spin coherence times, facilitating research into next-generation computing technologies.

Quality Control

Our Xenon (129Xe) is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity required for sensitive research and medical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and verification of key parameters. We adhere to rigorous internal quality standards to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical projects.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially designed high-pressure cylinder or container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, ensure containers are securely fastened and storage areas meet all local safety regulations for compressed gases.
