Backup Instrument Needed for LSC for Ni-63 Wipe Counts

[John R Laferriere <John.R.Laferriere@dupontpharma.com>]

I am forwarding this request for a non-radsafer.  Please reply directly to him, at the following email address:

SClark@Intellitec.com

He is looking for a backup instrument to be able to continue counting wipes looking for Ni-63 at the 30 to 100 dpm range.
His LSC is down at the moment.  I told him he might be able to get a windowless gas flow proportional counter with
adequate sensitivity, but I'm not familiar with vendors or MDAs.

Thanks!

As per our conversation we are looking for a backup for our LSC.  If
this counter goes down we have no other source to do the required test.
Our customer requires use to wipe test the instruments and assemblies in
their product.  The requirement for  instruments is <100dpm/100cm2 and
<30 dpm/30cm2 for assemblies.  If you could help in this matter it would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
