Flerovium is a highly radioactive metal, of which only a few atoms have ever been made. It is currently only used in research.
Flerovium was first produced by Russian scientists in 1998. The plutonium atoms were bombarded with calcium ions and a single atom of flerovium-21, an isotope with a half-life of about 289 seconds, was produced.
Flerovium-289, the most stable isotope of flerovium, has a half-life of about 0,97 seconds.
Since only a few flerovium atoms have been produced so far, it currently has no use outside of basic scientific research.
Flerovium is a radioactive synthetic element of which little is known. It is classified as a metal and is expected to be solid at room temperature. Flerovium has five isotopes with known half-lives.
It is suggested that flerovium is part of the theoretical island of stability. The island of stability is where protons and neutrons will combine to form a stable structure.
Scientists say that flerovium is harmful due to its highly radioactive nature. Therefore, scientists use the element u only for scientific studies.
In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also flerovium (Fl) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
