Description

Plutoniumcitrate CAS NO 40580-46-9 is a coordination complex of plutonium with citric acid. This compound is significant in specialized research and development fields, particularly for its unique chemical and radiological properties. It is primarily required by advanced nuclear research facilities and specialized laboratories engaged in radiochemistry, materials science, and the study of actinide behavior in biological and environmental systems.

Application

• Radiochemical Research: Used as a precursor or standard in studies of plutonium chemistry, complexation behavior, and speciation.
• Actinide Science: Serves as a model compound for investigating the environmental mobility and bioavailability of plutonium in geochemical contexts.
• Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) Research: Investigated in preclinical research for the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals due to the α-emitting isotope plutonium-238.
• Nuclear Forensics: Employed as a reference material for analytical method development and calibration in nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation programs.
• Spectroscopic Studies: Utilized in advanced analytical techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to understand plutonium's local coordination environment.

Quality Control

Our Plutoniumcitrate is produced and handled under strict quality assurance protocols in specialized, licensed facilities. Each batch is subject to rigorous analytical testing to confirm identity, isotopic composition, radiochemical purity, and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, radionuclidic purity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with stringent nuclear material accounting and safety regulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being strictly light-sensitive and easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a dedicated, secure, and licensed radiological facility. Storage must comply with all applicable national and international regulations for radioactive materials, including proper shielding, containment, and inventory control. The storage area must be maintained at a controlled ambient temperature.
