Calibrated Rod Sources

RadQual’s Calibrated Rod Sources are precision-manufactured, end-loaded sealed sources designed to provide stable, traceable radiation output in a durable Lucite rod format. Available in 3″ and 5″ lengths, each rod source is produced using NIST-traceable radioactive solutions to ensure accuracy and long-term reliability.

All sources are manufactured using gravimetric transference methods and verified using a Sodium Iodide detector or Dose Calibrator. Typical calibration accuracy is ±3% to ±5% (95% confidence level).

Specifications

• Lengths: 3″ (76 mm) and 5″ (127 mm)

• Diameter: 0.47″ (11.9 mm)

• End-loaded sealed capsule design

• Color-coded active end

Available isotopes include Eu-152, Ge-68, Na-22, Cs-137, Ba-133, Co-57, and Co-60.

Each rod source includes a Certificate of Calibration, Leak Test Certification, Radiation Safety Instructions, and a custom Decay Calendar.
