Sodium Iodide

Sodium Iodide

Sodium Iodide (NaI) is a white, water-soluble crystalline salt known for its role as a reliable iodine source across multiple industries. With its high purity and excellent solubility, Sodium Iodide is essential in medical diagnostics, radiation detection, and chemical synthesis.

In the healthcare sector, Sodium Iodide is widely used in radiopharmaceuticals, particularly in nuclear medicine for thyroid imaging and treatment. The radioactive isotope Iodine-131, when bound with Sodium Iodide, enables precise diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism and cancer.

Beyond medical applications, Sodium Iodide is crucial in the manufacture of iodized salt, helping combat iodine deficiency worldwide. It also finds use in organic chemistry as a reagent in halide exchange reactions, and in the preparation of other iodine compounds.

In the field of radiation detection, Sodium Iodide crystals doped with thallium are widely used in scintillation counters for detecting gamma rays, making it a valuable component in environmental monitoring and nuclear research. We supply high-quality Sodium Iodide in various grades, including USP and analytical grades, tailored to your specific needs.
