Product Overview
Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate from REacton™ delivers exceptional purity at 99.99% rare earth oxide (REO), ensuring reliable performance in demanding laboratory applications. This high-grade crystalline solid maintains consistent composition with minimal impurities, making it suitable for precision chemical synthesis and advanced analytical procedures. The hexahydrate form provides enhanced solubility in aqueous solutions while retaining stability under standard storage conditions. Its REacton™ certification guarantees rigorous quality control, with each batch tested for trace metal contamination and moisture content. The product’s uniform particle size distribution facilitates accurate dosing in experimental protocols. As a lanthanide compound, it exhibits characteristic paramagnetic properties while maintaining chemical stability across a wide pH range. The hexahydrate formulation offers improved handling characteristics compared to anhydrous forms, reducing the risk of hygroscopicity-related degradation during storage and use.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between REacton™ grade and standard reagent grade?
REacton™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.99% REO purity with stricter controls on trace metal impurities compared to standard reagent grades.
2. Can this product be used in aqueous solutions without decomposition?
The hexahydrate form maintains stability in aqueous environments, though prolonged exposure to extreme pH conditions may affect its properties.
3. What storage conditions are recommended to maintain product integrity?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent hydration changes.
4. Are there any known incompatibilities with common laboratory solvents?
While generally stable, avoid prolonged contact with strong oxidizing agents or highly acidic solvents that may compromise the chloride structure.
5. How does the hexahydrate form compare to anhydrous gadolinium chloride?
The hexahydrate offers better solubility in water and improved handling characteristics, though with slightly lower gadolinium content by weight compared to anhydrous forms.
