services involved by cerca-lea for dose calibrators quality control

• For internal quality control, CERCA-LEA supply, for many years,  gamma reference sources  offering for end users his own capability to survey dose calibrators stability.

 Gamma reference sources for dose calibrators are characterized in terms of activity.

Their geometry and certified activity enable them to be used in testing the constancy of response of dose calibrators.
Using this type of reference source necessitates prior calibration of the ionization chamber with conventional standard solutions.

The gamma reference sources can then be used for periodic testing of ionization chamber response.

• For external quality control, CERCA-LEA has developed skills and means for independant dose calibrators quality control with a wide range of radiopharmaceuticals.

• COFRAC accreditation N° 2-1529 for ionizing radiation calibration

• Background from French Atomic Agency (C.E.A.)

• Team of radiation protection and healph physics specialists

• A sophisticated mobile reference dose calibrator, with a check list of a wide range of radionuclides and ampoule/syringe shapes
