Product record

Natural neon and stable isotope requirements.

Neon is an inert rare gas used where controlled composition, low impurity levels and traceable analytical information matter. Natural neon and enriched Neon-20 or Neon-22 are handled as separate commercial requirements.

Atomic number10
Standard atomic weight20.180
Natural compositionNe-20 90.48%
Other stable isotopesNe-21 0.27% · Ne-22 9.25%

Natural abundance is not an enriched-isotope specification.For Neon-20 and Neon-22, state the required enrichment and chemical impurity limits in the enquiry.

Neon production and purification

Production planning connects process control, purification, analytical verification and controlled filling.

Three neon requirements. Three different supply conversations.

Natural neon is commonly discussed as a commercial compressed gas. Enriched stable isotopes require more specific information about enrichment, quantity, package and analytical evidence.

Where neon is used

Applications that begin with the gas specification.

Application context helps define purity, isotope, package, valve and analytical requirements. The examples below are technical use cases, not statements of immediate stock availability.

01

Laser systems

Natural neon is used in helium-neon lasers and in selected specialty laser gas mixtures.

02

Semiconductor processes

High-purity neon can be specified for selected excimer-laser and plasma-processing environments.

03

Lighting and discharge

Neon provides the characteristic orange-red emission associated with discharge lamps and signage.

04

Analytical instruments

Controlled-purity neon is used in selected spectroscopy, detector and calibration contexts.

05

Research

Natural neon supports low-temperature, atomic-physics and laboratory research programmes.

06

Stable isotopes

Neon-20 and Neon-22 are requested for isotope-specific scientific and analytical work.

Availability, enrichment, purity, filling pressure, cylinder hardware, analytical scope and delivery route are confirmed for each quotation. Review the current Safety Data Sheet register, our quality documentation approach, available packaging formats and the neon specification and packaging guide. See how analytical methods and reporting limits support high-purity gas specifications.

Tube modules for bulk neon supply

High-pressure tube modules can be reviewed for larger natural-neon requirements, subject to filling pressure, route and receiving-site compatibility.

Neon procurement FAQ

Questions that define a workable offer.

Natural gas and enriched-isotope requests follow different specification and packaging paths.

What information is needed for a natural neon quotation?

State the target purity and impurity limits, quantity, cylinder size and valve preference, application, destination, required date and documentation.

How are Neon-20 and Neon-22 enquiries different?

Define the target isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, amount, preferred small-volume package and required analytical evidence. Availability is confirmed for each quotation.

Which cylinder sizes can be reviewed for neon?

Natural neon enquiries can be reviewed for 2 L, 10 L, 20 L and 50 L cylinders. Stable-isotope requirements usually use specialist small-volume packages. The final valve and filling pressure are confirmed for the application and destination.

Can neon be shipped internationally?

Air or sea transport can be reviewed subject to the selected package, dangerous-goods acceptance, carrier rules, destination and export-control requirements.
