I0 Mm Phosphate Buffer




acquire radioisotopes
The sale of radioisotopes is a business worth a lot of money each year. Only in medicine, the government has to spend millions of euros to supply radioisotopes to hospitals, either radiotherapy, scans, X-ray portable devices, etc.

But not everyone is for medicine ... Many are for industries and for calibration of meters, for use in thickness gauges, etc.

Can we buy some of these? Yes, we can acquire radioactive sources for calibration without a license, but we must be clear about one thing: activity exemption. Is this it? We can purchase radioisotopes, but without a license, we can not buy that we want.

Each radioisotope having a unit of exemption (exempt quantity in English). To overcome it we must have a license.
Example: the unit exemption in Spain (this varies between countries) of Tl-204 is 10 kBq. To most need to get license.

And what are the units of waiver of each isotope in Spain?
few weeks ago I sent an e-mail asking this to the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC), which, kindly passed me. But do me if, no matter. Initially each vendor will inform you as you please buy the radioisotope.

now turn to suppliers:

English: is Nucliber Basically, a company that sells radio-isotopes for calibration. To meet you you have to be educated and to the point, asking these isotopes and precio.Os kindly attend. And what you realize that prices exceed € 1000 for a calibration disc with very little activity (well, as permitted by law), mandaréis them to take the ass.

far, I have not seen more English suppliers. European

: Nucliber sell Isotrak radioactive sources, which has a wide range, is very expensive and sold throughout Europe. Then there is

Canberra, which sells to Europe. The good thing is that it sells to 10 uCi of many products, and 25 uCi of Co-57.

But the supplier sells through an each country, and that of Spain is wrong because you are actually in Puerto Rico. Shit. And in Europe

little more, because who does not depend on Isotrak depends Canberra.

Although we Russian this website, it is best to sell californium, curium and even Berkelio.Son recent legal and licensing requirements. Then we have

RC Tritec is selling especially Switzerland and Beta emitters and light sentences made of Tritium and C-14.
independent seems very good, I've never bought there, or how they price, but surely that will be somewhat pricey for the armor that they put.

And then stop counting. American

: These are the best. There are many websites that sell, but after all, these radioisotopes are of the same company: Spectrum Techniques
.

sell a radioisotope usually in the form of discs and sealed (except for Po-210, the only alpha elmisor can sell.)

are a thing: The
sold without problems in Spain, since in spite of unit exemption exceed the English in many, nobody will say anything.
addition, as the CSN from me, I buy what I want.

can request the type of storage (disk, tube, etc) and you can choose the amount (Without exceeding the maximum). Here you have exemption units of each isotope in the USA.

Indeed, some radioisotopes allow them to 100 or even 1000 uCi Why? Just because they have a very short half life. If selling in less activity, no decay at all.

The trouble is that, for example in USA you can only with 0.1 uCi of Sr-90 and in Europe you can with 2 uCi. But hey, if you want any special id is asking the dealers that I have given, and look at the ratio activity / precio.Ahí is where almost always wins Spectrum Techniques.

For example, 0.1 uCi of Po-210: $ 69. The trouble is that in Europe I think that allows up to 2 uCI of Po-210.
10 uCi of Tl-204: only $ 88. In contrast, in Spain does not allow or 1 uCi.

is a matter of asking.

If someday I find an interesting, I'll let you know.

Salu2!
