Atomlab 500

A view of some glass buildings from below.
The Atomlab™ 500 provides fast, accurate radionuclide activity measurements with performance that easily complies with the most stringent regulatory requirements. The system consists of a low pressure ionization chamber, electrometer with extraordinary linearity and an auto-ranging color touch screen display. One dose calibrator can be used for a wide variety of nuclear medicine, PET and radioimmunotherapy applications. Additionally, there are advanced, but easy-to-use programs for nuclear pharmacy, radiochemistry and radiochromatography.

Activity measurements are performed by the microprocessor controlled electrometer located within the chamber assembly. The chamber is shielded with .25″³” (6.3 mm) lead. It can be located up to eight feet away from the display unit. Chamber bias is generated by an electronic high voltage supply, eliminating the need for expensive battery changes.

Every element of the design and technical development will increase dose accuracy, department productivity and regulation compliance. The attractive and intuitive human interface guides the user through each operation. Software can easily be updated via the Biodex website or by using a convenient memory card. The touch-screen display can rest on a bench or mount on the wall of a hot lab, hot cell or laminar flow hood.

In addition to powerful self diagnostics, the Atomlab 500 includes an exclusive chamber monitoring technology to assure longer life and accuracy. Integrated pressure and temperature sensors feedback data so that the influence
