Features
- Checks the consistent performance of isotope calibrators
- Includes 137Cs nuclide with a long life span
- Classified for class C.23323 according to ISO 2919
- Comes in a stable wooden case with handle and internal lead shielding
The sealed radioactive 137Cs check source of 3.7 MBq (100 µCi) activity is designed for routine checking of isotope calibrators to detect instability. The gamma emitting 137Cs nuclide of 662 keV with 30.17 years half-life has a long live span, so that only little correction for decay is required. The source matches the form of the samples to be assayed. It consists of an outer plastic (PVC) holder, shaped to resemble a 10 ml multidose vial, type P6 (diameter 20 mm, height 57 mm). This contains the 137Cs source, which is incorporated in a ceramic pellet and welded in a stainless steel capsule. The shape of the source enables easy handling using forceps.
The radioactive source is supplied in a wooden container with integral lead shielding of 25 mm thickness for radiation protected storage and transport. The source should only be removed from the case for isotope calibrator checks. The external case dimensions are 20 cm diameter and 22 cm height.
The source is classified according to ISO 2919 and equivalent to class C.23323. Please observe national regulations for transport and use of radioactive material. Before shipment, we need confirmation certifying that the purchaser is allowed to handle the radioactive source.
