Elemental Analysis - Meitnerium (Mt)

Meitnerium is a highly radioactive metal, of which only a few atoms have been produced so far. This element is used only in scientific research, other than that it has no commercial use.

Up to ten meitnerium atoms have been produced to date. But it will probably never be isolated in observable quantities. Meitnerium is obtained by bombarding bismuth with iron atoms.

Meitnerium was discovered in Germany in 1982. These studies were considered very important because not only were they able to produce a new element, but the feasibility of using fusion to make new, heavy nuclei was proven.

Meitnerium is a radioactive synthetic element of which little is known. It is classified as a metal and is solid at room temperature.

Meitnerium has seven isotopes with known half-lives. The most stable of them is meitnerium-278 isotope. Its half-life is about eight seconds. It decays to the isotope bohrium-274 via alpha decay.

Meitnerium is produced artificially. Using a linear accelerator, bismuth-209 atoms were bombarded with iron-58 ions and meitnerium was obtained. Only small quantities of meitnerium have been produced to date.

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 meitnerium (Mt) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
