Sulfur isotopes are mainly used in medical applications. S-33 is used for the production of the therapeutic radioisotope P-33. S-32 is used for the production of the radioisotope P-32 which is also used for therapeutic purposes. S-34 can be used for the production of the medical radioisotope Cl-34m and for S-35. Both S-33 and S-34 are used for genome research. Finally, S-36 has been used for the production of the radioisotopes S-37 and S-38.

Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of sulfur are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
32S 31.97207070 (25) 94.93 (31) 0 0
33S 32.97145843 (23) 0.76 (2) 3/2 0.643821
34S 33.96786665 (22) 4.29 (28) 0 0
36S 35.96708062 (27) 0.02 (1) 0 0
Isotope abundances of sulfur
Isotope abundances of sulfur. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of sulfur are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of sulfur, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
