Description

Iron, Isotope Of Mass 58 is a stable, non-radioactive isotope of iron, specifically the iron-58 (58Fe) nuclide. This high-purity isotopic material is essential for advanced scientific research and industrial applications where precise isotopic labeling or tracing is required. It is particularly valuable for researchers in nuclear physics, geochemistry, materials science, and for use as a tracer in metabolic and environmental studies.

Application

• Isotopic Tracer Studies: Used as a stable tracer in biological, medical, and environmental research to track iron absorption, metabolism, and pathways.
• Nuclear Physics & Spectroscopy: Serves as a target material or reference standard in nuclear reaction studies, neutron capture experiments, and precision mass spectrometry.
• Materials Science Research: Employed in the development and analysis of advanced alloys, magnetic materials, and thin films where isotopic purity is critical.
• Geochemical & Cosmochemical Analysis: Used as an isotopic spike or standard in mass spectrometry for determining the isotopic composition of natural samples.
• Reference Standards: Acts as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating analytical instruments and ensuring measurement accuracy in laboratories.
• Doping Agent: Can be used in semiconductor research and other high-tech material fabrication processes.

Quality Control

Our Iron-58 isotope is produced and handled to meet the exacting standards required for research and industrial applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis using high-precision mass spectrometry to confirm isotopic enrichment and chemical purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance, metallic impurities, and other critical parameters. Our quality management system ensures traceability, consistency, and compliance with relevant material specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container should be kept securely sealed when not in use to prevent atmospheric contamination and moisture ingress.
