New low pressure chamber. Atomlab Dose Calibrators are shipped air or ground as standard goods.

The Atomlab™ 400 provides fast, accurate radionuclide activity measurements with performance that easily complies with the most stringent regulatory requirements.

The unit is simple to operate. There is a routine list of ten pre-programmed isotopes plus another seven keys that can be user selected. Any four isotopes will be displayed at a time. In addition, there is a library containing 88 isotopes listed alphabetically, including Y-90 and Sr-89.

Activity is displayed on a LCD panel in either curie or becquerel units. Background correction is performed at the touch of a button. Range selection is automatic.

Activity measurements are performed by a microprocessor-controlled electrometer located within the detector assembly of the ionization chamber. The chamber is shielded with .25" (6.3 mm) lead. It can be located up to eight feet away from the display unit. Chamber bias is generated within the display unit by an electronic high voltage supply, eliminating the need for expensive battery changes.

The RS-232 port enables the Atomlab 400 Dose Calibrator to communicate with most commercially available nuclear medicine management systems.

Specifications

  • Isotope Selection Keys: Ten pre-programmed – Tc-99m, Tl-201, Co-57, Cs-137, I-131, In-111, Ga-67, Xe-133, I-123, and Mo-99; seven additional keys for user-set isotopes; two new isotope keys and a full alphabetical list of 88 isotopes.
  • Activity Range: 0.1 µCi to 40Ci (.001 mBq to 1500 GBq) of Tc-99m
  • Energy Range: 25 keV to 3 MeV photons
  • Response Time: One to two seconds for doses greater than 200 uCi; three
    seconds for doses greater than 20 uCi; 50-100 seconds below 20 uCi of
    Tc-99m with default threshold, threshold adjustable to reduce counting time
  • Detector Linearity: ±1% or 0.2 µCi, whichever is greater
  • Electrometer Linearity: ±1% or 0.2 µCi, whichever is greater
  • Electrometer Accuracy: ±1% or 0.2 µCi, whichever is greater
  • Overall Accuracy: ±3% or 0.3 µCi, whichever is greater; overall accuracy is affected by such factors as the accuracy of the specific source calibration, geometric variations due to sample volume or configuration, detector linearity, electrometer accuracy and readout accuracy
  • Repeatability: ±0.3% above 1 mCi short term (24 hr); 1% long term (one yr); exclusive of background
  • Digital Calibration Dial: Four-digit LED dial display with increment/decrement keys to change the value; range is from 0.0 to 999.9
