In the nuclear industry, lutetium rods are used as control rods in nuclear reactors due to their high neutron absorption cross-section, effectively controlling the rate of nuclear reactions and ensuring safe and stable operation of the reactors, and as important materials in neutron detectors for detecting the intensity and distribution of neutron radiation.
Medical field: Lutetium 177 is an important radioisotope, which can be prepared by processing lutetium rods. It is commonly used in radiopharmaceuticals, such as in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, where it can accurately deliver radioactive substances to tumor cells for therapeutic purposes.
Lutetium rods are used in the manufacture of special electronic components, such as high-performance semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, where the addition of lutetium improves the electrical properties of the material and increases the stability and reliability of the device.
Optics: Lutetium rods can be used as raw materials in the preparation of lutetium-based compounds with special optical properties, such as lutetium oxide, which are used in the manufacture of optical materials such as optical glass and laser crystals, and play a role in laser technology and optical communications.
Each batch of products strictly guards the quality, from the selection of raw material suppliers, to the use of advanced testing equipment to accurately monitor the entire production process, to the finished product through many rounds of harsh sampling and third-party authoritative certification, to all-round, zero-tolerance quality control system to ensure that each batch of products meets and exceeds the industry’s high standards, to provide our customers with the best quality and most stable products.
Lutetium metal rods are packed in wooden crates after double vacuum bagging.
Lutetium metal rods should be stored in a dry, clean environment in sealed containers to prevent oxidation, preferably in an environment protected by an inert gas such as nitrogen, and away from strong magnetic fields, high temperatures and corrosive chemicals.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
