Lutetium Metal (Lu Metal) is the densest and the highest-melting rare-earth element and the last member of the lanthanide series. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) has gained a strong reputation with research institutions and industries by providing high purity lutetium metals and compounds for more than two decades.

Lutetium was the last natural rare earth element to be discovered. It is a silvery-white metal that is corrosion-resistant in dry air. Lutetium metal is slightly unstable in the air at standard conditions, but it easily burns at 150 °C to form lutetium oxide. Lutetium Metal (Lu Metal) is the densest and the highest-melting rare-earth element and the last member of the lanthanide series.

Lutetium metal is often used as catalysts in petroleum cracking in refineries and used in alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization applications. Some lutetium compounds also have specific uses. For example, lutetium tantalate (LuTaO4) is the densest known stable white material (density 9.81 g/cm3) and therefore is widely used in X-ray phosphors.
Our lutetium metals are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
