Description

Lutetium(III) Bromide Hydrate 99.999% is a high-purity inorganic salt of the rare earth element lutetium. This ultra-high purity grade is essential for advanced research and manufacturing where trace impurities can significantly impact performance and results. It is a critical precursor material for industries requiring precise luminescent or catalytic properties, particularly in the development of specialized phosphors and advanced optical materials.

Application

• Phosphor and Scintillator Manufacturing: A key precursor for creating high-performance lutetium-based phosphors used in medical imaging (PET scanners), radiation detectors, and display technologies.
• Catalysis Research: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing novel lutetium-based catalysts used in organic synthesis and polymerization processes.
• Optical Material Production: Used in the fabrication of specialized glasses, crystals, and optical fibers for lasers and telecommunications.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Acts as a high-purity source material for depositing thin films of lutetium-containing compounds in semiconductor and coating applications.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: Employed as a fundamental reagent in research involving lanthanide chemistry, material science, and spectroscopy.
• Doping Agent: Used to dope other crystalline materials to modify their electrical or optical characteristics for specific electronic applications.

Quality Control

Our 99.999% (5N) purity grade Lutetium(III) Bromide Hydrate is produced and tested to meet the stringent requirements of advanced material synthesis and research. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure conformity to specifications, including trace metal analysis via ICP-MS/OES. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be handled in a controlled atmosphere (e.g., dry glovebox) when prolonged exposure is necessary to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage at room temperature (15-25°C).
