ISOCS™ / LabSOCS™ Calibration Methodology
Quickly and accurately obtain high quality efficiency calibrations for a wide range of geometries — in-situ or in a laboratory.
PROVEN.
ISOCS calibrations have been deployed in 6,000+ gamma spectroscopy systems, with hundreds of Verification and Validation (V&V) references. Established for 25+ years, ISOCS software offers extensive geometry modeling templates, and options for customization, available directly within the Genie™ and Apex-Gamma™ environments.
ACCEPTED.
Over the years, mathematical modeling techniques like ISOCS calibrations have been approved in regulations such as US NRC Reg 1.21, ASTM C26.10 – NDA Techniques, and more. Additionally, full factory detector characterizations provide traceability to use NIST-traceable and DAKKS-certified calibration sources.
SMART.
ISOCS software unlocks in-situ possibilities, reducing the time-consuming and tedious process of extracting samples and sending them to the laboratory for analysis. And when in the laboratory, ISOCS software greatly reduces the cost of purchasing, tracking, and disposing of radioactive standards.
ISOCS software reduces source inventory (cost and ALARA), offers flexibility for unexpected sample geometries, and drives more accurate results.
Key Features & Applications
- 30+ application-targeted geometry templates — quickly model sample or measurement shots
- 3D Geometry Composer — easy-to-use visualization of modeled geometry for better confidence and accuracy
- ISOCS Uncertainty Estimator — supports sensitivity studies and TMU calculations
- Complex Beaker Editor — precision modeling and better sample container fidelity
ISOCS/LabSOCS software has wide application for in-situ measurement of contaminated materials/areas in place, after removal from facility, final status measurement prior to release from area, and general demolition activities.
ISOCS supports:
- Nuclear Power Plants
- Laboratories
- Decontamination and Decommissioning
- Emergency Response
- Food Monitoring
Sourceless Efficiency Calibration Software
With ISOCS software, there’s no need to calibrate with radioactive reference standards. It integrates with hand-held spectrometers and multi-detector assay systems to provide quantitative and qualitative results.
Simply count your samples, define your geometries, and analyze data on your PC — reducing actual time in the field or lab.
Boost your Genie Software
The new Genie 4.0 software builds upon nearly 40 years of experience supporting comprehensive spectroscopy, with significant new enhancements across the platform, while maintaining compatibility with existing users’ Genie 2000 processes.
ISOCS software is a powerful addition to the Genie Spectroscopy Suite. Efficiency calibration curves can be pre-calculated and loaded for a given detector, or they can be calculated on the fly with each sample peak efficiency value calculated directly from an ISOCS model – no interpolation needed.
Licensing
With Genie software and the ISOCS option, users can choose their preferred licensing model: 1-year, 3-year, or perpetual.
Genie 4.0 software evolves your spectroscopy operations and drives more accurate results. Learn about the latest enhancements to this software suite.
