American Elements is the world leader in 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999% and 99.9999% high purity metal and powder.  American Elements specializes in preparation and purification of compounds to ultra high purity standards-2N, 3N, 4N, 5N and 6N with parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) level impurities certified. 99.999% Ultra High Purity Ruthenium (II) Chloride (RuCl)
Managed by Ph. D. level chemists with decades of high purity production experience, American Elements can purify materials that are known to be difficult to refine, but are essential to many high tech applications and research. These include most metals, oxides, and fluorides, the entire rare earth (lanthanide) series, cobalt, europium, rhenium, rubidium, scandium, and others to 99.999% purity. Also, we can reach high purity in forms including nanoparticles and nanopowders (learn more about Nanotechnology), organo-metallics, sputtering targets, foil, rod, pellets and wire and produce specialized high purity materials for fuel cells and solar energy applications.

99.999% Ultra High Purity Praseodymium Fluoride (PrF)
Rare earth materials are often sold at 99.99% purity when in fact they are of lower unknown purity because the testing capability of Chinese production facilities can only determine the purity of a specific rare earth to the other rare earths in the compound. All other elements are assumed. Such producers will represent purity as RE/TREO. American Elements represents its 99.999% purity with respect to all elements on the periodic table - a significant advantage to our customers who are in in high technology electronics, optics and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
99.999% Ultra High Purity Dysprosium Metal (Dy)For example, American Elements can prepare aluminum chloride, erbium chloride and ytterbium chloride hydrates with iron and other transition metals less than 100 ppb. Similar purity levels can be obtained with the other rare earth chlorides.

We produce palladium metal, palladium nitrate, and tetraamminepalladium (II) nitrate of 99.999% purity with levels of the above analytes in the low ppb range.

99.999% Uranyl Acetate Fine Powder99.999% Nickel (II) Chloride PowderWe have routinely prepared large batches of barium nitrate in a purity of 99.9999% with the largest impurity being strontium at less than .5 ppm. We synthesize cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II) in a purity of 99.999% with no other detectable heavy metals.

Among its technical capabilities our high purity production facility includes several large electric muffle furnaces, a tube furnace for hydrogen reduction, 50 gallon glass-lined Pfaudler reactors, all supported by our extensive analytical laboratory including X-ray diffraction, SEM, AA, BET surface area, and ICP Spectrometry for trace metals analysis.
