The document describes the sealed radioactive nickel (Ni-63) source in the Varian BV Micro-DMD, which is used to generate beta particles (electrons) within a sealed cell. It mentions the requirement of obtaining a license to import, handle, store, use, transfer, and dispose of a sealed radioactive source, and suggests contacting the appropriate authority to determine how to handle this situation.
This document describes the sealed radioactive nickel (Ni-63) source utilized within the Agilent Micro-DMD (p-DMD) device. The source generates beta particles for use as a detector in chromatography applications. It is noted that the p-DMD contains three times lower activity per source compared to an Electron Capture Detector (ECD).
The device uses a nickel-63 (Ni-63) source to generate beta particles within a sealed cell.
The maximum temperature for the source is 180°C.
A p-DMD has three times lower activity per source compared to an ECD.
