Sodium chloride Na-24

Sodium chloride labeled with Na-24 (Na-24) is a radioactive form of common salt used mainly in scientific and medical research. Due to its short half-life (~15 hours), Na-24 is useful in tracing the movement of sodium ions within biological systems and industrial processes. In medicine, it helps study blood circulation and electrolyte balance, while in nuclear research, it’s used to analyze fluid flow and detect leaks in reactor cooling systems. Its radioactivity makes it ideal for short-term diagnostic studies without long-term radiation exposure. The directory classifies it as a unknown/inactive API with a mineral/inorganic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Sodium-24 chloride and Sodium chloride (24NaCl). Its PubChem CID is 23689546.
