Elemental Analysis - Hassium (Hs)

Hassium is a highly radioactive metal, of which only a few atoms have ever been made. Today it is used only in scientific research. Hassium does not occur naturally and could probably never be isolated in observable quantities. Hassium is produced by bombarding atoms of a lead-208 isotope with ions of an iron-58 isotope. A linear accelerator was used to do this bombardment, and the hassium-265 isotope and a free neutron were produced. This element was first discovered in 1984.

Since only small amounts of hassium are made, it has no commercial use. Its current use is for scientific studies only.

Hassium is a synthetic element that little is known about. It is assumed to be a solid metal, but it is difficult to work with as only a few atoms are created. All isotopes have extremely short half-lives. It has nine isotopes, of which the most stable is the isotope hassium-22, which has a half-life of 270 seconds.

Hassium is a metal that falls into a group of elements called transition metals. These metals form the central block of the periodic table and have similar properties such as being hard, having high melting and boiling points, and very good conductors of electricity.

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 hassium (Hs) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
