Neon is a colorless and odorless gas. It is one of the noble gases and does not react with any other substance. There are very few compounds made with neon. The biggest use of neon is in the ubiquitous neon signs for advertising. It glows a neon reddish orange in a vacuum evacuation tube. Only red signs actually contain pure neon. Others contain different gases to impart different colors.
Neon is also used to make high voltage displays and switchgears, lightning arresters, diving equipment and lasers.
Liquid neon is an important cryogenic coolant. It has 40 times more cooling capacity than liquid helium and 3 times more than liquid hydrogen per unit volume.
Neon is not biologically toxic.
Neon is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. However, it is present in the atmosphere at a concentration of only 18 parts per million. It is extracted by fractional distillation of liquid air. This includes both helium and neon.
Neon was discovered shortly after the discovery of the element krypton in 1898. Like krypton, neon was discovered through the study of liquefied air.
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 neon (Ne) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
