Our Solution
Choose from four holder types:
Types A and B with an aluminium ring, or Types C and D without a ring
Specify, on request, an active diameter
from 0.2 to 2.9 inches
and
an outer diameter from 0.35 to 3.5 inches
Select
an on-request activity from 0.0003 to 0.2 µCi
, or choose from
the catalogue activities of 0.008, 0.02 and 0.08 µCi
Benefit from sources whose radiological characteristics are measured using a traceable gridded ionisation chamber
