Radioisotopes

In 1991 C.S. Products (Testing Equipment) Ltd were appointed as the U.K. agent for Australian Radioisotopes (ANSTO). Since that time we have built reputation for the punctual supply of high activity Ytterbium 169.

We are also able to supply quotations and arrange worldwide delivery of :-

IRIDIUM 192 YTTERBIUM 169 SELENIUM 75

COBALT 60 CAESIUM 137

Sources can be prepared and loaded for use within Meddings Radiographics Ltd containers
and in most major source projectors e.g. Tech-Ops 660 Sentinel 880.
