Ophthalmic applicator

Traceable calibration

NPL offers calibration services for Ru-106 and Sr-90 curved and planar ophthalmic applicators. We have developed a calibration service for ophthalmic applicators. The calibration is performed by irradiating thin alanine pellets placed on a Perspex phantom.

• Calibration of Ru-106 and Sr-90 curved and planar applicators traceable to NPL's primary standard for absorbed dose to water (graphite calorimeter ) via alanine dosimetry
• Calibration in terms of absorbed dose rate to water, normally at 0 mm and 2 mm depth
• Uncertainty of calibration is estimated to be ± 7 % (k=2)
• Service is available on demand
• Turnaround time is approximately two weeks
