CRC®-55tW Dose Calibrator
As a combination of the new CRC®-55tR Dose Calibrator and Well Counter, the CRC®-55tW’s dose calibrator provides advanced features with the speed and accuracy you need to measure activity and prepare doses. Its ion chamber is one of our time-tested, high pressure well designs capable of measuring a dose as high as 6 Ci (250 GBq) with high accuracy. The CRC®-55tW features a new helpful chamber plug-and-play capability.
For wipe testing, the CRC®-55tW allows the user to define specific counting procedures (protocols) with trigger levels for work, patient, unrestricted areas and sealed source leak tests. The CRC®-55tW also performs counting functions for wipe tests in as little as 6 seconds at activities as low as 1 nCi. Low activities are measured with a drilled well high sensitivity Sodium Iodide (NaI) detector.
The well counter includes a 256 channel MCA which provides detailed spectrum for identification and analysis. Manual and automatic ROI selection available.
The chamber and counter of the CRC®-55tW are combined in a menu driven, touch screen interface that is easy to learn and use.
