KEY APPLICATIONS
Our liquid sources are mostly used in laboratories detection metrology purposes: calibration of detectors, periodic quality inspections such as control charts, periodic verification of detection performance.
The associated measurement systems are the devices used to control the discharge of liquid effluents into the environment: gamma spectrometry or liquid scintillation counting.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The specific activity of our liquid sources is characterized by means of Nal scintillators, HPGe semi-conductors or liquid scintillation analyzers. They are calibrated under COFRAC* protocols. The measurement uncertainty varies between 1% and 8% depending on the radionuclide and the geometry.
* Scope N°2-6386 available on www.cofrac.fr or upon request.
Activities
The specific activity levels available as catalog reference are:
• 0.04 kBq/g
