These SRMs are intended for the calibration of radioactivity-measuring instruments. They are calibrated in terms of activity per gram of solution (except SRM 4415, which is calibrated in terms of activity). Each SRM is contained in a 5 mL flame-sealed glass ampoule and, except for SRM 4415, consists of the radionuclide dissolved in an aqueous solution (usually acidic).These SRMs are produced in collaboration with the NRMAP, Inc. and, because of the short half lives, are available only at specific times.
When an import permit for radioactive material is required of a customer outside the U.S., NIST must have a copy to complete an order and facilitate shipment.
