Tellurium-130 (¹³⁰Te) a stable, naturally occurring isotope of the metalloid tellurium, primarily intended for medical radioisotope production and advanced physics research. Production of Iodine-131 (Primary Intended Use) The primary medical purpose of enriched ¹³⁰Te is to serve as the critical precursor target material for manufacturing Iodine-131 (¹³¹I), one of the most widely used radiopharmaceuticals in global healthcare. Fundamental Physics Research (Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay) In particle physics, ¹³⁰Te serves as one of the elite candidate isotopes used to study the ultimate nature of matter. ¹³⁰Te It possesses an exceptionally long natural half-life (7.9 × 10²⁰ years) and high abundance, making it an ideal, quiet background target for measuring rare subatomic events. Characteristics Isotope Enrichment: > 99.90 Chemical Form: metal or dioxide Chemical purity: > 99.90 Natural abundance: 34.08
