| Energy keV (Max) | 18 | 159 | 225 | 763 |
| Energy keV (Avg) | 5.7 | 49.5 | 62 | 244 |
| Half life | 12.35 y | 5760 y | 2.6 y | 3.78 y |
| Chemical purity | > 98% | > 99% | on request | on request |
| Specific activity | 2.57 Ci/ml | > 56 mCi/mmol | 500-700 Ci/g (oxide) | on to 30 Ci/g |
Tritium (H-3) gas
Chemical form:
H-3 gas, carrier-free, normally in 99% pure form
Smaller quantities of 1-20 Ci in break-open pyrexam ampoules
Quantities of 10 Ci and higher are adsorbed and delivered on a rentable uranium bed. (Can only be supplied with an end user agreement)
Carbon-14 (C-14)
Chemical form:
BaCO3 (solid) > 56 mCi/mmol; 281 mCi/g
14-CO2 gas adsorbed on a stainless steel trap with a specific activity of 57 mCi/mmol
Loading and unloading (typically 1Ci/trap) can be carried out directly with our C-14 handling system.
Promethium-147 (Pm-147)
Chemical forms:
Pm-chloride solution in HCl (liquid), 0.1 - 10 Ci/ml
