Use
Rubidium metal and its salts have very few commercial applications. They are used in research involving magnetohydrodynamics and thermoionic experiments. Rubidium is used in photocells. The metal also is a getter of oxygen in vacuum tubes. The beta-emitter rubidium –87 is used to determine age of some rocks and minerals. Radioisotopes of rubidium have been used as radioactive tracers to trace the flow of blood in the body. The iodide salt treats goiters. Rubidium salts are in pharmaceuticals as soporifics, sedatives, and for treating epilepsy.
