HDR and LDR calibrations
- May be used with any precision electrometer
The HDR 1000 Plus Well Chamber* precisely calibrates radioactive sources used for cancer treatment. The HDR 1000 Plus is the standard instrument for independently verifying prescribed patient dose. This verification helps protect the hospital from misadministration and liability. The HDR 1000 Plus is an air communicating chamber so there is no inaccuracy due to an undetected gas leak as in a pressurized chamber. Performance of the HDR 1000 Plus has been validated in over 30 publications.
The HDR 1000 Plus is ideal for low dose rate and high dose rate brachytherapy. Source holders are available for most existing isotopes available on the market today. If we do not list a source holder for the isotope you wish to measure, contact us.
The HDR 100 Plus Well Chamber includes carrying case.
