The Atomlab 300 Dose Calibrator's ultra-fast response time, extended measurement range and computer compatibility provide state-of-the-art performance for PET pharmacies, chemistry laboratories or clinics. The Atomlab 300 provides fast, accurate radionuclide activity measurements that easily surpass the most stringent regulatory requirements. With a modular design, the Atomlab 300 can be configured to specific requirements and expanded as the facility grows.

The unit is simple to operate. There are 13 isotope selection keys, ten are pre-programmed for the most commonly used PET and constancy radionuclides and three are user defined. There are 88 isotope-specific dial values listed in the manual, including Y-90 and Sr-89. Any key can be reprogrammed by the user for a desired isotope.

Activity is displayed on a LED readout in either Curie or Becquerel units. Background correction and zero adjustment are performed at the touch of a button. Range selection is automatic.

Activity measurements are performed by a microprocessor controlled electrometer located within the detector assembly of the ionization chamber. The chamber is shielded with .25" (.64 cm) lead. Up to six remote chambers and a printer may be connected to a single display unit. Utilizing the Multi-Chamber Switch Box, the chambers may be placed as far as 40 feet away from the display unit. Chamber bias is generated within the display unit by an electronic high voltage supply, eliminating the need for expensive battery changes.

The RS-232 port enables the Atomlab 300 Dose Calibrator to communicate with most commercially available nuclear medicine management systems.

An industry exclusive two-year warranty is standard.
