Molybdenum isotopes (Mo)
Molybdenum isotopes are used in medical applications. The stable Molybdenum isotopes can be enriched or depleted by Urenco Stable Isotopes to any required concentration. The Molybdenum isotopes can be supplied in various chemical forms.
Naturally occurring Molybdenum has seven stable isotopes.
| Isotope | Maximum available enrichment (atomic %) | Natural abundance (atomic %) |
|---|---|---|
| ⁹²Mo | >99.9, <1 | 14.50 |
| ⁹⁴Mo | >99.9, <1 | 9.20 |
| ⁹⁵Mo | >99.9, <1 | 15.80 |
| ⁹⁶Mo | >99.9, <1 | 16.70 |
| ⁹⁷Mo | >99.9, <1 | 9.60 |
| ⁹⁸Mo | >99.9, <1 | 24.40 |
| ¹⁰⁰Mo | >99.9, <1 | 9.80 |
Application of Molybdenum isotopes
Molybdenum 92 (Mo 92)
Mo-92 is used for nutrition studies in humans.
Molybdenum 94 (Mo 94)
Mo-94 is used for nutrition studies in humans.
Molybdenum 95 (Mo 95)
Mo-95 is used for the production of the medical radioisotope Ru-97. Mo-95 is also used for nutrition studies in humans. Depleted Mo-95 has been suggested for use in UMo fuel elements for high flux materials test.
Molybdenum 96 (Mo 96)
Mo-96 is used for the production of the medical radioisotopes Tc-96 and Tc-95m. Mo-95 is used also for nutrition studies in humans.
Molybdenum 97 (Mo 97)
Mo-97 is used for nutrition studies in humans.
Molybdenum 98 (Mo 98)
Mo-98 is used for the production of Tc-99m. Tc-99m is considered to be the ‘workhorse’ of diagnostic nuclear medicine. Mo-98 is also used for nutrition studies in humans.
Molybdenum 100 (Mo 100)
Mo-100 is also used for the production of Tc-99m, the workhorse of medical diagnostics. Mo-100 is also used for nutrition studies in humans.
