Leading Crystal Launches High-Performance LaBr₃:Ce Scintillation Crystals, Paving the Way for New Breakthroughs in Nucle

2026-02-04

Leading Crystal, a company specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of advanced crystal materials, announced that its independently developed high-performance LaBr₃:Ce scintillation crystals have achieved stable mass production. With industry-leading energy resolution and exceptional performance, the product has been successfully deployed across critical sectors including nuclear medicine, environmental monitoring, and petroleum exploration.

As a next-generation inorganic scintillation crystal, Leading Crystal’s LaBr₃:Ce crystals deliver an ultra-bright light output of up to 63,000 photons/MeV and an industry-leading energy resolution of as low as 2.7% (@662 keV). In handheld Radio-Isotope Identification Devices (RIID), these crystals enable precise identification of radioactive isotopes, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of nuclear radiation detection.

Furthermore, the crystals feature a high density of 5.1 g/cm³ and strong radiation stopping power, allowing for a substantial reduction in device size without compromising detection efficiency—making them ideal for highly portable applications. With an ultra-fast decay time of ≤20 ns, they support high count-rate measurements, and their excellent light output and temperature stability ensure optimal detection performance even in high-temperature environments.

“Our LaBr₃:Ce crystals not only achieve top-tier technical specifications in the industry but also provide customized solutions for customers across different sectors,” stated a technical leader at Leading Crystal. “From nuclear medicine imaging (PET/SPECT) to handheld radionuclide identifiers in environmental monitoring, and from oil well logging to high-energy physics experiments, they are becoming the ‘core eyes’ of numerous cutting-edge devices.”

To meet diverse customer needs, Leading Crystal offers LaBr₃:Ce standard detectors with diameters ranging from 1 to 1.5 inches, along with professional after-sales services to ensure long-term stable operation of products in complex environments.
