ITEM DESCRIPTION OF QTY UNIT NO. SUPPLIES/SVCS 1 Product Number: 2480 WIZARD2 1 EA WIZARD 2480 GAMMA COUNTER/TRICARB 3110 LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTER Manufacturer: PerkinElmer 2. Product Number: TRI-CARB 3110TR 1 EA TRICARB 3110 LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTER 3 OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE/SERVICE MANUAL 2 EA 4 BIOMEDICAL TRAINING 1 EA 5 OPERATOR TRAINING 1 EA SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS: -Detector system consists of a thallium activated, sodium iodide crystal. The crystal height is 80 mm (3.15 in) and diameter 75 mm (2.95 in). The detector uses 4p counting geometry. -Radiation shielding is present for the detector assembly and the conveyor. The detector assembly is surrounded by a minimum of 50 mm (2.0 in) of lead shielding above and below. The shielding against the conveyor is 75 mm (2.95 in) of solid lead. -Sample changer has a storage capacity of 100 racks (1000 samples, 3 mL tubes) or 54 racks (270 sample, 20 mL tubes). -Linear multichannel analyzer with 2048 channels. Dead time is 2.5 µs. -Counting efficiency is not highly dependent on sample volume. In 20 mL LSC vial, < 1%/mL change in relative counting efficiency for any nuclide in the range 0â€"20 mL is achieved. -Multi-parameter linear MCA (Multichannel Analyzer) with an effective resolution of 1/10 keV. -133Ba low energy external standard source and tSIE (transformed Spectral Index of External standard) calculations eliminate the effects of vial glow, plastic wall and cocktail changes on the DPM results. -A cassette-loaded bi-directional sample conveyor mechanism is standard with a sample capacity of either 408 standard 20 mL vials, or 720 small 4 or 7 mL vials. -Sample changer enables intermixing and counting of both large and small sample vials without special adapters. Includes both large vial (12-position) and small vial (18-position) cassettes. DISCLAIMER This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation.
