Product Information

• Name: Gadolinium(III) bromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Gadolinium(III) bromide is a salt of gadolinium with the chemical formula GdBr3. It is a colorless solid that can be obtained as long, needle-like crystals. Gadolinium(III) bromide is used to produce a variety of gadolinium compounds, such as gadopentetate dimeglumine, which is used for MRI contrast enhancement. The compound's vapor pressure is 1.5 x 10-4 torr at room temperature and its evaporation point is 292 °C (550 °F).Gadolinium(III) bromide has been shown to have replicating properties in experimental systems. These properties are determined by the size of the system and the parameters involved in the reaction yield, transition state, and stoichiometry.
