Components

One luminescent calibrator and one non-luminescent calibrator

Features and Benefits

On-site calibration satisfies HACCP and GMP requirements. No need to send the equipment out to a 3rd party.

General description

Other Notes

Avoid crushing, cutting, or dropping the calibrators.

Principle

The luminescent calibrator consists of a 14^C radioactive source that emits a very low level (5 x 10⁵ d.p.m., or 0.225 microcuries) of low energy ß radiation in a plastic scintillation matrix. This matrix is configured to give constant light output, within 10% of its original value, at a sufficiently high level to make consistent verification and calibration functions possible over the five- year life of the calibrator. The non-luminescent black plastic calibrator provides a reliable low-end or “dark” source reading.

Suitability

ATP Testing, Food Processing, HACCP Monitoring, Sanitation
