Description

Rubidium87 CAS NO 13982-13-3 is the stable isotope of rubidium, a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. This high-purity material is critical for applications requiring precise atomic properties and minimal isotopic interference. It is essential for research and development laboratories, quantum computing initiatives, and specialized manufacturing processes in the photonics and electronics sectors.

Application

• Atomic Clocks and Frequency Standards: Serves as the core element in vapor cell atomic clocks (Rb clocks) due to its hyperfine transition, providing exceptional timekeeping accuracy for GPS, telecommunications, and scientific instrumentation.
• Quantum Information Science: Used in research on quantum computing, quantum memory, and quantum sensing, often as a source of single photons or in atom trapping experiments.
• Laser Cooling and Trapping: Acts as the atomic species in magneto-optical traps (MOTs) for fundamental physics research, including studies of Bose-Einstein condensates and ultracold chemistry.
• Medical and Biomedical Research: Employed in positron emission tomography (PET) as a generator for the isotope Strontium-82/Rubidium-82 for myocardial perfusion imaging.
• Electronics and Photonics: Used in the development of specialized photocathodes, thin-film coatings, and dopants for modifying the electrical and optical properties of materials.
• Geological and Environmental Tracing: Utilized in isotope geochemistry for rock dating (Rb-Sr method) and as a tracer in hydrological studies.
• Fundamental Physics Research: Critical for experiments testing symmetry violations, measuring fundamental constants, and in searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Quality Control

Our Rubidium87 is produced and handled to meet the exacting standards required for advanced research and high-tech applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis to confirm isotopic enrichment and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing isotopic abundance, metallic purity, and trace elemental impurities via techniques like ICP-MS and GD-MS. We adhere to strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive and hygroscopic nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon) in a sealed ampoule or specialized container to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as water, acids, and halogens. The recommended long-term storage temperature is 15-25°C.
