Gadolinium-160 (¹⁶⁰Gd) a stable, non-radioactive isotope of the rare-earth element gadolinium, primarily used as a target material for manufacturing advanced cancer radiotherapies. ¹⁶⁰Gd functions as a starting material in nuclear reactors to generate next-generation medical radioisotopes. Medical Radioisotope Production (Primary Intended Use) For the commercial production of Terbium-161 (¹⁶¹Tb), highly enriched gadolinium (¹⁶⁰Gd) target material is placed inside nuclear research reactors. The resulting terbium-161 is in high demand for targeted radionuclide therapy. Purity Protection To prevent the hyper-enriched isotopic composition (>99% purity) required for target physics from degrading, keep the container isolated from other chemical elements. Characteristics Isotope Enrichment: > 98.00 Chemical Form: oxide Chemical purity: > 99.90 CAS number: 12064-62-9
