Description

Antimony-124 is a stable isotope of the metalloid element antimony, widely used as a tracer and in nuclear applications due to its specific radioactive properties. This high-purity material is essential for research and industrial processes requiring precise isotopic labeling and controlled radiation sources. Key industries that rely on this isotope include nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging, materials science for neutron source production, and environmental monitoring as a radioactive tracer.

Application

• Neutron Source Production: Used in the manufacture of compact neutron sources for well logging, material analysis, and security screening devices.
• Nuclear Medicine & Diagnostics: Serves as a parent nuclide in the generation of radioisotopes for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and other diagnostic imaging techniques.
• Industrial Tracer Studies: Employed as a radioactive tracer to monitor material flow, wear rates, and process efficiency in closed industrial systems.
• Research & Calibration: Provides a standardized γ-ray source for calibrating radiation detection equipment and spectroscopic instruments in laboratory settings.
• Environmental Science: Utilized in sediment transport studies and hydrological tracing to understand environmental processes.
• Academic Research: Fundamental studies in nuclear physics, chemistry, and the development of new radiopharmaceuticals.

Quality Control

Our Antimony-124 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure isotopic purity, radionuclidic purity, and chemical stability. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as specific activity, radionuclidic identity, and chemical impurities. We adhere to relevant Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines for radioactive materials, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for critical applications. Certificates are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its nature as an easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive material, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a dedicated, shielded facility designed for radioactive materials. Maintain at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Storage must comply with all local, national, and international regulations for radioactive substances.
