Chromium isotopes (Cr)
Chromium isotopes are used in medical applications and research applications. The stable Chromium isotopes can be enriched or depleted by Urenco Stable Isotopes to any required concentration. The Chromium isotopes can be supplied in various chemical forms.
Naturally occurring Chromium has four stable isotopes.
| Isotope | Maximum available enrichment (atomic %) | Natural abundance (atomic %) |
|---|---|---|
| ⁵⁰Cr | >99.9, <1 | 4.34 |
| ⁵²Cr | >99.9, <1 | 83.79 |
| ⁵³Cr | >99.9, <1 | 9.50 |
| ⁵⁴Cr | >99.9, <1 | 2.37 |
Application of Chromium isotopes
Chromium 50 (Cr 50)
Cr-50 can be used for the production of the radioisotope Cr- 51. Cr-51 is used for measuring blood volume and red blood cell survival.
Chromium 53 (Cr 53)
Cr-53 is used for the study of Chromium metabolism and studies into diabetes.
Chromium 54 (Cr 54)
Cr-54 is used for the study of Chromium metabolism and studies into diabetes.
