Description

Samarium150 is a high-purity, stable isotope of the rare earth element samarium, identified by CAS No. 14907-33-6. This material is critical for applications requiring precise isotopic composition and minimal neutron absorption cross-section. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the nuclear, scientific instrumentation, and advanced materials sectors who demand isotopically pure components for their processes.

Application

• Neutron Absorption Control: Used as a burnable poison or neutron absorber in nuclear reactor control rods and shielding applications due to its specific isotopic properties.
• Scientific Research & Calibration: Serves as a high-purity standard and target material in nuclear physics research, particle accelerators, and mass spectrometry calibration.
• Isotope Geochemistry: Employed as a spike isotope in isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ID-MS) for precise dating and tracer studies in geological and environmental samples.
• Advanced Alloy Development: Acts as a specialized additive in the research and development of high-performance alloys and intermetallic compounds with tailored properties.
• Medical Isotope Production: Utilized as a precursor or target material in the production of certain radioisotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Quality Control

Our Samarium150 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to verify isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and absence of specific contaminants. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, documenting results from techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). We ensure traceability and compliance with relevant material standards for research and industrial use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to the nature of rare earth metals, prolonged exposure to air should be minimized. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to preserve surface quality.
