Radsafers:
     
I'm looking for a "less expensive" supplier of traceable I-125 calibration 
sources (between 1 and 10 uCi).  Typically, I like to use the epoxy filled 
"test tube" type of configuration (ideal for insertion into a neck phantom). 
I've been purchasing from Isotope Products, but their prices have gone 
through the roof.  I've considered using Amersham/Isotrak, however, the 
sources they have available are in standardized solution configurations 
(ampoule).
     
Can any of you point me in the direction of alternative manufacturers of 
this type of source?
     
Thanks for your help!
