Description

Gadolinium160 CAS NO 14834-81-2 is a high-purity, stable isotope of the rare earth element gadolinium, specifically the isotope with mass number 160. This material is critical for applications requiring precise isotopic composition and minimal neutron absorption cross-section interference. It is essential for advanced research and industrial processes in nuclear technology, medical imaging, and fundamental physics. Industries such as nuclear reactor design, scientific instrumentation, and specialized material science rely on its consistent isotopic purity.

Application

• Neutron Absorption and Shielding: Used as a component in control rods and shielding materials for nuclear reactors due to its specific neutron capture properties.
• Medical Research Tracers: Serves as a stable isotopic tracer in biomedical research and the development of new diagnostic agents.
• Fundamental Physics Research: Employed in experiments studying nuclear structure, decay processes, and for calibrating mass spectrometers.
• Reference Standards: Acts as a certified reference material (CRM) for isotopic analysis and geochemical dating techniques.
• Advanced Alloy Development: Incorporated in specialized metallic alloys where a specific, non-radioactive gadolinium isotope is required to fine-tune material properties.
• Optical and Electronic Material Precursor: Used in the synthesis of high-performance phosphors, lasers, and semiconductor materials with tailored isotopic content.

Quality Control

Our Gadolinium160 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Isotopic purity is verified using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). All materials are accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic abundance, elemental purity, and trace metal impurities. We ensure compliance with relevant standards for high-purity and nuclear-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and contaminants. Store away from incompatible materials.
