I-129 Sources

["Hohnadel, David ,PhD" <hohnadel@acmlab.com>]

Hi RadSafers:

I'm a clinical biochemist and new lister.  
I'm in the process of setting up a Medical Laboratory facility that uses
tracer levels of I-125
for biological testing as part of commercial analytical "kits".  I have
applied to NYSDOH as part of this process 
for the license am awaiting their inspector.  In the past, I have always
been a user on a facility license. I seem 
to remember using an I-129 sealed source in a test-tube type container
as a secondary standard.  The company
I'm to obtain standard materials from currently only supplies I-125 as
standards.  Does anyone know if these 
types of materials are still available and where to obtain them?  Thanks
for your help.
