AEA Technology QSA offers seven different mixtures of radionuclides
for calibrating high resolution gamma-ray spectrometers.
The radionuclides are recommended by NIST (USA) and PTB (Germany)
and cover the energy range 46-1836keV. The solutions are calibrated
in our UKAS
or
DKD accredited measurement laboratories and are traceable
to national standards world-wide, including the USA, France,
Germany and the UK. To make the calibration process as easy
as possible, each solution is supplied with a certificate
of calibration which matches the format of gamma-ray spectrometry
software packages.
Inactive diluents are available so that the solutions can
be diluted to any volume.
