[ RadSafe ] BRUKER AXS GADDS SYSTEM and CS-137 check source

[Lemieux, Bryan P]

We have Bruker units here, but not the one you describe.  I did note that the systems is supposed to use a "monochromatic" x-ray beam though..... which makes me wonder.  Bruker themselves have been very responsive to us in the past and I suggest you contact them directly.

I am evaluating a new GADDS unit for campus use and found a CS-137 check source. I am not familiar with this unit, is it usual for the source to accompany the unit and if so, what purpose will it serve the users?
