Molybdenum (Mo-99) Nitrate

Half-Life: 66,02 (hours)

Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is the parent isotope of Technetium-99m (Tc-99m). Nowadays Tc-99m is the most widely applied isotope in nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures. Its short 6-hour half-life and the amount of emitted energy (140 keV) make Tc-99m a perfect imaging agent. Mo-99 is essential in Technetium generators manufacturing.

The manufacturers: 

• SSC RIAR, JSC;
• Karpov IPC, JSC.

Both companies possess unique engineering expertise and production capabilities that comprise 3 reactors producing Mo-99 and 2 radiochemical laboratories. Well-coordinated production planning enables the two manufacturers to back up each other in case of unplanned reactor outage. That is why our company, the distributor of Russian Mo-99, is able to ensure reliable delivery of this isotope to all customers. Our client-oriented approach has made us one of the leaders in global isotope sales market.
