Elemental Analysis - Xenon (Xe)

Xenon is a colorless and odorless gas. It doesn't react at all. Xenon is used in certain special light sources. It produces a beautiful blue glow when stimulated by an electrical discharge. Xenon lamps have applications such as high-speed strobe light bulbs used by photographers and bactericidal lamps used in food preparation and processing. In ruby ​​lasers, xenon lamps are also used.

Xenon ion propulsion systems are used to keep satellites in orbit. Also, xenon difluoride is used to etch silicon microprocessors. Meanwhile, xenon is also used in the manufacture of a drug used to treat certain types of cancer.

Xenon has no known biological role. It is not toxic per se, but its compounds are highly toxic as they are strong oxidizing agents.

xenon, some can be found in gases from mineral sources. It is obtained commercially by extraction from liquid air..

Xenon was first discovered in the residue left after fractional distillation of liquid air. Spectroscopic analysis showed beautiful never before seen blue lines indicating the presence of a new element, xenon.

The name xenon comes from a Greek word meaning stranger.

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 xenon (Xe) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
