Elemental Analysis - Seaborgium (Sg)

Seaborgium is a non-naturally occurring radioactive metal. Only a few atoms have been produced so far. For this reason, this element is only used in scientific research, other than that it has no commercial use.

Seaborgium is a synthetic, transuranium element. It is produced by bombarding californium-249 atoms with oxygen-18 nuclei.

The element seaborgium was first reported by a group of Russian scientists in 1964. Seaborgium-54 isotope was obtained by bombarding lead isotopes with chromium-259 ions via a cyclotron. The results were determined by microscopic examination of foils exposed to a rotating target disk during bombardment. Other experiments were conducted to help confirm this discovery.

Later, American scientists bombarded californium-249 atoms with oxygen-18 ions using a super heavy ion linear accelerator. This study was validated in 1993.

Seaborgium 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.

Seaborgium has 12 isotopes with known half-lives. The most stable is the isotope seaborgium-2,4, with a half-life of about 271 minutes.

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 seaborgium (Sg) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
