title: Results obtained in the metrological certification of a commercially available radionuclide calibrator.
abstract: The paper presents the results obtained at IFIN-HH during a metrological certification of the commercially available radionuclide calibrator, the CURIEMENTOR2. Its performance was tested for the radionuclides: 57Co, 99mTc, 131I and 137Cs. The calibration factors determined by the manufacturer and those obtained at IFIN-HH differed by less than 3.5%. New calibration factors were determined for 60Co and 188Re, which have, until now, not been distributed by the manufacturer to the users. Furthermore, the linearity of instrument response and the dependence of measuring geometry were checked and found in accordance with the international accepted standards and legal requirements.
