CAS 10138-52-0 — Gadolinium(III) chloride

Gadolinium(III) chloride is a highly soluble inorganic salt used as a gadolinium source and precursor in the synthesis of chelated MRI contrast agents such as gadopentetate and gadoterate, and in research for its paramagnetic properties, as a blocker of stretch-activated and TRP ion channels, and as an inhibitor of Kupffer cells. Industrially, it also serves as a starting material for producing gadolinium sponge metal. It appears as a white to off-white hygroscopic solid with strong water affinity. This chemical has a CAS number of 10138-52-0, molecular formula GdCl₃, and a molecular weight of 263.61 g/mol. Store at ambient conditions in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture. The product carries a Warning signal word due to potential hazards like skin and eye irritation. Molekula supplies Gadolinium(III) chloride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
