Cobalt-57 active part is prepared by electrodeposition of high purity carrier-free 57Co onto a thin (thickess 6 μm or less, diameter: 4 - 8 mm) metal matrix followed with controlled annealing process. Standard matrices are rhodium and chromium. Other matrices are available on request.
Active part is placed into titanium alloy holder with brazed beryllium window. Laser welding of titanium alloy holder ensures environmental safety against radiation contamination.

The design of some transducers enables one to fix a source inside a hollow rod. A design like that makes it possible to have two resonance channels operating simultaneously with one source. The second channel may be used for calibration or for second sample measurements. For this purpose the sealed double sided sources are designed.
