LaBr₃:Ce Crystal (Lanthanum Bromide) – High-Light-Output Scintillator for SPECT & Industrial Analysis

Institutional Procurement & Supply Compliance: As a verified US supplier, Atomfair accepts formal institutional Purchase Orders (POs), contract billing schedules, and custom procurement loops for university and national laboratories, and corporate R&D departments globally.

Overview Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr₃:Ce) is a state-of-the-art scintillation crystal renowned for its exceptional light output, ultra-fast decay time, and superior energy resolution—making it a critical material in industrial analysis, medical imaging, and high-energy physics. By efficiently converting gamma rays, X-rays, and high-energy particles into intense ultraviolet-blue light (380 nm), LaBr₃:Ce delivers high-contrast, rapid signals for applications requiring precision, speed, and reliability. Our LaBr₃:Ce crystals are synthesized from high-purity precursors with cerium doping, ensuring uniform light output and decay properties across batches. Whether for high-resolution SPECT imaging or rugged oilfield ,they excel in environments where performance under pressure is non-negotiable.

Description

Key Advantages
Exceptional Light Output (68,000 ph/MeV)
One of the highest photon yields among scintillators, emitting ultraviolet-blue light (380 nm) with intensity directly proportional to incident radiation energy. This ensures superior signal-to-noise ratios, enabling precise energy measurement even in low-dose applications (e.g., medical SPECT).
Superior Energy Resolution
Combined with its high light yield, LaBr₃:Ce offers unmatched ability to distinguish between radiation energies—critical for identifying specific isotopes in coal/mineral analysis, oilfield logging, or medical SPECT (e.g., differentiating radiotracers in cardiac imaging).
Ultra-Fast Decay Time (16 ns)
Among the fastest decay times of any scintillator, minimizing signal pile-up in high-count-rate environments. This speed is invaluable for real-time applications like security screening (rapid cargo scanning) or high-energy physics experiments (tracking fast-moving particles).
Rapid Response & High Sensitivity
Delivers instant signal generation upon radiation absorption, ensuring quick data acquisition in time-sensitive applications—from industrial process control to emergency radiation monitoring.
Excellent Radiation Hardness
Withstands intense radiation fields without performance degradation, making it suitable for high-dose environments like nuclear facilities, oilfield tools, or particle colliders.
