Product Overview
Lutetium(III) chloride hexahydrate from REacton™ delivers exceptional purity at 99.9% rare earth oxides (REO), ensuring reliable performance in demanding laboratory applications. This hexahydrate form maintains stable crystalline structure, offering consistent solubility and reactivity for precise experimental control. The REacton™ grade undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate trace metallic impurities, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring ultra-low contamination levels. Its hygroscopic nature necessitates careful handling and storage in airtight containers to preserve integrity. The compound’s high coordination potential and unique electronic properties stem from lutetium’s position as the heaviest lanthanide, providing distinct advantages in specialized chemical synthesis. Each batch undergoes comprehensive quality testing to verify the exact 99.9% REO specification, with certificates of analysis available for traceability. The hexahydrate formulation balances stability with ease of use, dissolving readily in polar solvents while maintaining its structural integrity during standard lab procedures.
FAQs
1. What is the exact purity level of this lutetium chloride?
The product maintains 99.9% purity based on rare earth oxide (REO) content, with detailed impurity profiles available in the certificate of analysis.
2. Can this be used directly in aqueous solutions?
Yes, the hexahydrate form dissolves readily in water, though the solution should be prepared fresh due to potential hydrolysis over time.
3. What storage conditions are recommended?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert atmosphere at room temperature, protected from moisture and light to prevent degradation.
4. How does this compare to anhydrous lutetium chloride?
The hexahydrate offers better solubility in polar solvents but requires careful drying if anhydrous conditions are needed for specific reactions.
5. What documentation comes with each batch?
Every package includes a certificate of analysis detailing purity verification, trace impurities, and batch-specific testing results for quality assurance.
