Radiation Protection
|
|
Beta Protection Products | Beta Protection Products are made from 10mm thick optically clear acryclic, which is the accepted standard for shielding beta emissions in biological research. Commonly used beta emitters include 3H, 14C, 32P, and 35S. |
Gamma Protection Products | Gamma Protection Products are made from acrylic copolymer resin containing an organolead salt. Our standard products use 12 mm thick lead-acrylic, equivalent to 0.5 mm lead (a 35 mm shield, equivalent to 1.6 mm lead, is also available). This is suitable for protection from 125I, but not from most other gamma-emitting radioisotopes. If in doubt, please consult your local Radiation Protection Officer. Gamma protection products are not recommended for use with high-energy beta emitters. |
