Dose Calibrator Vial Reference Sources

The daily calibration of dose calibrators is recommended to ensure accurate and reproducible instrument response. Calibration is easily achieved and maintained by the use of long-lived reference sources.

These sources are solid cast epoxy, 20 ml active volume in the 27 ml Vial E. They are calibrated with ±5% accuracy at the 99% confidence level, NIST traceable. Dose Calibrator Reference Sources are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Each source includes a certificate of calibration, a leak test certificate, and a radiation safety and handling sheet. The source is packaged in an individual lead shield that is color coded and vinyl covered to eliminate exposure to the lead. Dose Calibrator Reference Sources are available individually or as an economical set.
