Preparation of Radiocolloids

Introduction

Radioactive colloids use radioactive substances as the dispersed phase, which not only has the characteristics of general colloids, but also has radioactivity. According to the different conditions of the solution medium, radioactive colloids have two states of true and false colloids. As conditions change, the true and false colloids can be converted. In addition, the acidity of the solution, the presence of other electrolytes or suspended particles of impurities, the storage time and storage method of the solution, etc., will all have an impact on the formation of radioactive colloids.

Detection Services

After the successful preparation of the target colloid, we carry out a series of tests to ensure that the product meets your needs. Our testing items include but are not limited to the following types:

• Particle Size Determination
• Radioactive Concentration Detection
• Specific Activity Determination
• Radioactive Purity Testing
• Stability Analysis
• Dialysis Condition Analysis: Use semipermeable membrane flowing water dialysis to remove impurities and free radioactive ions in colloids
