Product Overview
Lutetium(III) oxide, REacton™ grade, is a high-purity rare earth oxide with a verified 99.9% (REO) composition, ensuring exceptional quality for demanding applications. This fine, white powder is synthesized under stringent conditions to eliminate impurities, making it a reliable choice for researchers and industries requiring precise chemical properties. The REacton™ designation guarantees consistency in particle size distribution, reactivity, and stability, which are critical for reproducible results. Its low hygroscopicity and high thermal stability further enhance its suitability for processes involving elevated temperatures or controlled atmospheres. The oxide’s dense crystalline structure contributes to its resistance to chemical degradation, ensuring long-term storage without compromising purity. Whether used as a precursor in advanced material synthesis or as a dopant in specialized formulations, this lutetium oxide delivers the performance required for high-stakes applications. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of analysis for traceability and quality assurance.
FAQs
1. What is the particle size range of this lutetium(III) oxide powder?
The REacton™ grade lutetium(III) oxide typically features a sub-micron to low-micron particle size distribution, optimized for uniform dispersion in most applications. Exact specifications are provided in the certificate of analysis for each batch.
2. Is this product compatible with aqueous solutions for synthesis?
While lutetium(III) oxide is insoluble in water, it can be dissolved in mineral acids like hydrochloric or nitric acid to form lutetium salts. Always verify compatibility with your specific solvent system and reaction conditions.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for cost-sensitive applications?
For applications where 99.9% purity is not critical, 99.5% or 99% grades of lutetium oxide may be available. These alternatives offer reduced costs but should be evaluated for suitability based on impurity profiles.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the sealed container in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal the packaging tightly and use desiccants if long-term storage is required to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
5. What is the country of origin for this lutetium(III) oxide?
This product is sourced from specialized rare earth processing facilities, with raw materials typically originating from certified mines in China or Australia, followed by purification and packaging in ISO-compliant laboratories.
