SNC350p™

A Proven Solution for Electron Reference Dosimetry

SNC350p is a waterproof, well-guarded, parallel-plate ionization chamber with a design that minimizes perturbation effects as described by Dr. M. Roos et al. (IAEA TRS-381). It is intended for reference, field, and scanning dosimetry of therapeutic electron beams.



Features & Benefits

  • Conforms to the design principles as stated by Dr. Roos
    • Reduces in-scattering perturbation effects
    • Capable of being used with electrons, including low energy beams (< 10MeV) per AAPM’s TG-51 and IAEA’s TRS-398
  • Reference-class dosimeter meeting recognized standards of performance (IEC 60731). May be used to cross calibrate field-class dosimeters
  • Vented to provide air-density correction and eliminate need for radioactive stability check device
  • White chamber body allows easy visualization of the setup relative to the crosshairs and lasers
  • Well Guarded and Fully Guarded
  • Minimal wait time after polarity change
  • No need for secondary water-proofing
  • Triaxial BNC and TNC connector options available
  • Custom fitted and travel-safe storage case
