Description

Sodium Molybdate-Mo99 CAS NO 38848-45-2 is a high-purity, isotopically enriched inorganic compound, serving as a critical precursor for the production of the medical radioisotope Technetium-99m (Tc-99m). This compound is essential for ensuring a reliable supply chain in nuclear medicine, where Tc-99m is the most widely used diagnostic imaging agent globally. It is primarily required by radiopharmaceutical manufacturers, nuclear research facilities, and specialized chemical suppliers serving the healthcare and life sciences sectors.

Application

• Radiopharmaceutical Precursor: The primary and most critical application is as the target material in nuclear reactors or cyclotrons for the production of Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), which decays to Technetium-99m.
• Medical Diagnostic Imaging: Enables the manufacturing of Tc-99m generators, used in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) for diagnosing heart disease, cancer, and neurological disorders.
• Nuclear Research & Development: Serves as a standardized source of Mo-99 for research in radiochemistry, nuclear physics, and the development of new radiopharmaceuticals.
• Calibration Standards: Used in the calibration of radiation detection and measurement equipment in medical and industrial settings.
• Industrial Radiography: Can be utilized in the preparation of sealed sources for non-destructive testing (NDT) in specific industrial applications.
