Description

Molybdenum99 CAS NO 14119-15-4 is a high-purity, radioactive isotope of molybdenum, specifically the metastable technetium-99m generator parent nuclide. This compound is critically important as the precursor for the most widely used medical radioisotope, Technetium-99m, which is indispensable for diagnostic imaging in nuclear medicine. It is an essential material for radiopharmacies, hospitals, and nuclear medicine facilities globally that require a reliable supply for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Application

• Technetium-99m Generators: The primary application is as the parent isotope in molybdenum-99/technetium-99m (99Mo/99mTc) generators for medical diagnostics.
• Nuclear Medicine Imaging: Serves as the source for producing 99mTc, used in millions of diagnostic procedures annually for cardiac, bone, renal, and cancer imaging.
• Radiopharmaceutical Synthesis: Provides the 99mTc necessary for labeling various pharmaceutical kits to create targeted diagnostic agents.
• Hospital & Clinical Diagnostics: Essential for in-house radioisotope production in hospital nuclear medicine departments and centralized radiopharmacies.
• Medical Research: Used in developing new diagnostic tracers and protocols in clinical research settings.
• Calibration Standards: Can be utilized in calibrating radiation detection and measurement equipment in clinical and regulatory environments.

Quality Control

Our Molybdenum99 is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to meet the exacting standards of the nuclear medicine industry. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing for radionuclidic purity, radiochemical purity, specific activity, and pH to ensure compliance with pharmacopoeial guidelines (e.g., USP, Ph. Eur.) and regulatory requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results, including gamma spectroscopy analysis, is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and patient safety.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, shielded container, protected from all light exposure. Store under appropriate conditions as a radioactive material, in accordance with local and international radiation safety regulations. Due to its nature as Easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), the product must be handled and stored with care to maintain stability. Specific storage and handling instructions are provided in the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and product documentation.
