SNC125c™ SNC350p™ SNC600c™
Proven Reference Ion Chambers
Sun Nuclear reference class ionization chambers are optimal tools for scanning, field, and reference dosimetry measurements.
Meet Requirements
Properly QA your linac, in accordance with the reference class and dosimetry protocols of IEC 60731, AAPM TG-51, IAEA TRS-398 and DIN 6800-2.
Reliable & Accurate
Reference-class ion chambers are vented, waterproof and fully guarded. A white chamber body makes visualization easy during setup and relative to cross hairs and lasers.
SNC125c for Reference Class Dosimetry
With a design that reduces the convolution of high-dose gradient regions during profile and depth measurements, SNC125c meets IEC 60731 standards and more:
- Enhanced penumbra without loss of signal strength
- Optimized to work with Sun Nuclear water tanks
- Maintains ideal orientation during scans
- Sensitivity of a 0.125 cm3 chamber and penumbra closer to a micro-chamber
- kq factors available for TG-51, TRS398 and DIN 6800-2 calibrations
SNC350p for Electron Reference Dosimetry
This parallel-plate ion chamber is well-guarded to minimize perturbation effects for reference, field, and scanning dosimetry of therapeutic electron beams, and TDD/TPS commissioning and QA.
- Supports absolute or relative dose point measurements and PDD measurements
- Conforms to the design principles as stated by Dr. M. Roos et al. (IAEA TRS-381)
- Meets AAPM TG‑51 and IAEA TRS‑398 requirements for low‑energy beams (< 10MeV)
- Meets reference-class dosimeter standards of performance (IEC 60731), and may be used to cross calibrate field-class dosimeters
SNC600c for Photon and Electron Reference Dosimetry
SNC600c is a reference class dosimeter based on the classic Farmer Chamber design.
- Reference class performance (IEC 60731)
- Beam quality correction factors (kq) factors available for TG-51, TRS398 and DIN 6800-2 dosimetry protocols
- Classic Farmer Chamber design allows use in most slab phantoms
- White thimble provides easy setup verification
“I can do three times as much work in half the time with SunCHECK Machine.
The IC PROFILER integration is amazing. You put on a Quad Wedge and you’ve done four tests in one exposure — output, beam energy, profile constancy and MU.”
