Atomlab 950 Bioassay Software

This program is used to assay for any isotope for which counting efficiency has been determined. Typical applications are monitoring activity in the thyroid of staff members who are exposed to I-123, I-125, or I-131, and for long-term monitoring and reporting of patients treated therapeutically with I-131. Three report formats are provided: The Individual Bioassay Report documents a single bioassay. An Individual Bioassay History Summary lists multiple assay results on the same individual. The Employee Summary Report lists the most current count for every individual staff member.

The Bioassay Program allows the contamination trigger level to be set for the facility. The system determines and displays the lower limit of detection (LLD) for each isotope of interest after counting background, allowing the technologist to change parameters to adjust the LLD. Counts per minute are converted to dpm, µCi, or kBq using stored isotope efficiency values.
