Beta/Gamma Test Tube Sources
$0.00
Spectrum Techniques Beta/Gamma Test Tube Sources are sealed reference sources designed for laboratories, radiation protection programs, educational institutions, and security applications.
In stock
Test tube sources designed for use as reference sources in well type detectors or clinical instruments. Applications include laboratories (gamma counter/spectrometer checks), radiation protection (probe verification), training/education (nuclear physics concepts), and security (radiological threat identification). Each source uses a capped 12mm x 75mm polypropylene tube with 2-3mm diameter source material at the bottom. Available isotopes include Ba-133, Cd-109, Cs-137, Co-57, Co-60, Eu-152, I-125, Mn-54, Na-22, Sr-90, Tl-204, and Zn-65. Source activities range from 0.05 to 100 µCi. Standard calibration has ±20% maximum deviation; optional secondary NIST-traceable calibration available for ±5% accuracy. Activities comply with U.S. NRC Exempt Quantity limits.
