Lutetium Test Adapters

Thermo Scientific Lutetium Test Adapters are a smart alternative to conventional check sources and offer a lot of unique advantages to customers using radiation detectors.
Innovative series of test adapters based on high-purity natural Lutetium-Oxide provides users with the ability to “challenge” the functionality of their radiation detectors. Using a chemically pure bulk substance containing the radioisotope in its natural abundance results in a totally constant and homogeneous surface emission rate; unlike other test sources, the Lu Test Adapter possesses activity that is well-defined and reproducible.
Under US DOT or IATA rules for dangerous goods shipments, these adapters are not considered as radioactive material due to their natural origin and low specific activity.

  • A 3.7E10 year half-life means no need for error-prone half-life correction and no need for reoccurring purchase of the (decayed) check sources
  • The adapters provide a highly reproducible and uniform activity content of 50 Bq/g (1.3 nCi/g)
  • All test adapters of the same type have virtually the same activity
  • Beta-type adapters provide nearly identical surface emission rates
  • The design of specially shaped enclosures and high-density Lu2O3 ceramics minimizes the required activity for small-size detectors
    • Due to their natural origin and low specific activity, these adapters are not considered as radioactive material in respect to many national regulations
    • Contain the isotope Lu-176 with a 28 times greater half-life than K-40
    • Adapters can be used for performance verification of highly sensitive gamma detectors and pancake-type beta contamination probes
    Test adapters are available in a variety of sizes for use with various radiation measurement instruments:

    Beta/Gamma Test Adapters

    • High-precision, low-energy test adapters for performance verification of the RadEye B20 and other instruments with pancake detector; 9g Lu2O3; D x H: 50 x 3mm (acrylic glass housing); D x H: 40 x 1mm (Lu2O3 ceramics inlet); typical net count rate for RadEye B20: 6 cps
    • Test adapters for large area beta contamination probes with an inherently homogeneous surface emission rate of 0.8 particles per cm2·s - perfect for training and calibration; 80g Lu2O3; 120 x 200 x 5mm total size; 110cm2 (74 x 148mm) (Lu2O3 surface

    Gamma Test Adapter for RadEye PRD

    • Specially shaped lutetium test adapter to match RadEye PRD housing; 36g Lu2O3
    • Typical net count rate for RadEye PRD: 100 cps
    • Indication of “low energy” NBR alarm
    • A carrying case is included

    Universal Gamma Test Adapter for Portable Scintillation Detectors and Gamma Spectroscopy

    • Lutetium test adapter with 50g Lu2O3
    • D x H: 62 x 7mm (aluminium housing); D x H: 55 x 3mm (Lu2O3 ceramics)
    • Typical net count rate for 2 x 2 in. NaI(Tl) detectors: 300 cps
    • Immediate identification of “artifical” NBR alarm for FHZ 672 E-10, net dose rate 30nSv/h [3µR/h]

    Gamma Test Adapters for Radiation Portal Monitors

    • Choose dual disc 100g design or quad-disc 200g design
    • Dual-disc design has a typical net count rate for large area detectors of 1000 cps; 171 x 61 x 17mm (aluminium housing); (2x) D x H: 55 x 3mm (Lu2O3 ceramics)
    • Quad-disc design has a typical net count rate for large area detectors of 2000 cps; recommended for locations with higher background; (4x) D x H: 55 x 3mm (Lu2O3 ceramics)
    • Both styles can be mounted directly to FHT 1388 area detectors (plastic housing) and are also available with holder for monitors with metal enclosure (ASM/SGS installations)
