Description

Lutetium(III) Sulfate 99.99+% is a high-purity inorganic salt of the rare earth element lutetium. This ultra-high purity grade is critical for applications demanding exceptional material consistency and minimal trace metal contamination. It is primarily utilized in advanced material science, specialized chemical synthesis, and high-performance phosphor research. The product is supplied with a guaranteed purity of 99.99% (4N) minimum, ensuring reliability for sensitive industrial and R&D processes.

Application

• Advanced Phosphors and Luminescent Materials: A key precursor for manufacturing high-efficiency, stable phosphors used in specialized lighting, displays, and radiation detection (scintillators).
• Catalyst Research and Development: Serves as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in petrochemical refining and organic synthesis due to lutetium's unique Lewis acid properties.
• Doping Agent for Optical Crystals and Fibers: Used to dope materials like yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) and glass fibers to modify their optical and lasing properties.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Thin Film Precursor: A source material for depositing lutetium-containing films in semiconductor and coating technologies.
• Research and Analytical Standards: Employed as a high-purity standard in analytical chemistry, geochemistry, and nuclear medicine research.
• Specialty Glass and Ceramics: An additive to impart specific structural or refractive index characteristics to advanced glass and ceramic compositions.

Quality Control

Our Lutetium(III) Sulfate 99.99+% is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles against established specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results for assay and trace metal content is provided to ensure full traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
