Description

Xenon-124Xe is a stable, non-radioactive isotope of the noble gas xenon, specifically enriched in the isotope 124Xe. This high-purity specialty gas is critical for advanced research and industrial applications where isotopic purity and chemical inertness are paramount. It is essential for sectors including nuclear medicine, fundamental physics research, and high-tech manufacturing.

Application

• Medical Imaging & Research: Used as a precursor in the production of radioisotopes like Iodine-123 and Iodine-124 for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).
• Fundamental Physics: Serves as a target material in experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay, a key to understanding neutrino properties and matter-antimatter asymmetry.
• Calibration & Spectroscopy: Employed as a high-purity calibration standard in mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques due to its well-defined isotopic signature.
• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Used in specialized plasma etching and deposition processes where a pure, inert atmosphere is required.
• Advanced Lighting & Lasers: Utilized in the development of high-intensity discharge lamps and certain excimer laser systems.
• Space Propulsion & Research: Investigated for use in advanced electric propulsion systems (ion thrusters) for satellites and deep-space missions.

Quality Control

Our Xenon-124Xe is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using high-resolution mass spectrometry and gas chromatography to verify specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, high-pressure cylinder or container specifically designed for compressed gases, stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, cylinders must be secured to prevent tipping. Store away from incompatible materials.
