Deuterium
Deuterium gas is a stable isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron in its atomic nucleus. It is commonly known as heavy hydrogen. Deuterium gas is colourless and emits a characteristic pink glow when ionized. Deuterium gas is used in a variety of applications, including heavy water moderated fission reactors, fusion reactor designs, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. Deuterium is also used as an isotopic tracer in investigations of chemical and biochemical reactions involving hydrogen. At SelenPharm, we provide high-quality deuterium gas supply services in South Africa.

Deuterium Gas — Advancing Scientific Frontiers
Deuterium Gas is a specialized gas used in various scientific and industrial applications. It is commonly employed in precision scientific experiments, advanced research, and industrial processes where its unique properties contribute to specific outcomes.
Before using deuterium gas, it is important to ensure that the storage and handling equipment is in good condition and that all safety procedures are followed. Deuterium gas should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat and ignition. It is also important to ensure that the gas is not exposed to moisture or other contaminants.
Deuterium is not toxic, but it is highly flammable and can cause explosions if not handled properly. It is also a simple asphyxiant. Deuterium gas can cause headaches, nausea, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and other problems if inhaled. It is important to handle deuterium gas with care and to follow strict safety protocols when handling it.
Deuterium gas should be stored upright in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, especially in warm climates. It should be stored under a roof to keep cylinders out of direct sunlight. Storage, unloading, and loading areas must be posted with "No Smoking" signs, with access restricted.
The contents of a deuterium gas cylinder are typically 99.9% deuterium gas. Deuterium gas cylinders are typically coloured green for easy identification.
