Standard Practice for Use of an Alanine-EPR Dosimetry System

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The alanine-EPR dosimetry system provides a means for measuring absorbed dose. It is based on the measurement of specific stable free radicals in crystalline alanine generated by ionizing radiation.

4.2 Alanine-EPR dosimetry systems are used in reference- or transfer-standard or routine dosimetry systems in radiation applications that include: sterilization of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, food irradiation, polymer modifications, medical therapy and radiation damage studies in materials (1, 13-15).
