Tellurium Isotopes

Enrich tellurium in one of its 8 natural isotopes, tailored to your target isotope and required chemical form, as precursors of Radiopharmaceuticals.

• Challenges

  • Secure telluriem isotopes that meet strict purity standards
  • Access ¹³⁰Te for ¹³¹I production without using highly enriched uranium targets
  • Ensure reliable and long-term supply for critical medical applications

• Our Solution

  • Access enrichment levels above 95% for one of the 8 natural tellurium isotopes (120, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 128, or 130) through TeF₆ ultracentrifugation
  • Choose between delivery in gaseous form (TeF₆) or in oxide form (TeO₂), depending on your process requirements
  • Benefit from high isotopic purity levels
  • Rely on a robust European supply chain, with production at the Tricastin site

   

• Key Features

  • 60+ years of industrial expertise at the Tricastin site
  • Isotopic separation via gas centrifugation
  • Delivery in pure gaseous form
  • European production at Orano’s Tricastin facility
  • Available forms: gaseous TeF₆ or tellurium oxide (TeO₂)
  • High isotopic purity suitable for medical applications
