Specialized Uses of Krypton Gas

 

 

Beyond lighting and insulation, some additional niche uses also leverage krypton’s unique properties:

 

 

  • Excimer lasers – KrF and KrCl excimer laser gas mixtures provide ultraviolet lasing medium.

  • Gas chromatography – Krypton acts as the carrier gas for sensitive analytical separations.

  • Mass spectrometer calibration – Known atomic weight provides reference for instrument calibration.

  • Lightning simulation – Krypton discharge tubes produce artificial lightning effects.

  • Cryogenics -Liquid krypton’s superfluidity properties aid advanced low temperature research.

  • Leak detection – Trace krypton indicates leaks in vacuum systems and other sealed units.

 

 

While small in scale, these key high-value applications rely on krypton’s stable chemistry and rare gas attributes, ensuring ongoing demand despite its scarcity and cost.
