Universities
Tracking & Reporting Radioactive substances
Comply with all your regulatory requirements
The use of radioactivity has a range of applications in various fields of science within universities. Some of the uses that IsoStock can be used to help include:
1. Tracing of chemical reactions and biological processes using radioactive tracers or labels
2. Imaging of internal structures and organs using radiography or nuclear medicine techniques.
3. Studying nuclear physics and chemistry using particle accelerators or nuclear reactors.
Regardless of the application or field of science, each university is legally obligated to comply with its permit requirements for keeping or using radioactive substances or storing or disposing of radioactive waste. IsoStock aids universities in complying with regulatory requirements within the UK, including the Environment Agency (EA), Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
We manage both Open and Sealed Sources
Reduce your risk with IsoStock
IsoStock manages both Open and Sealed sources.
Open – allows record keeping for all stages of requesting, authorising, ordering, receiving, dilution, synthesis, and waste management and disposal.
Sealed – allows record keeping for standalone sources and those housed within equipment. It will track all movements and leak tests with the option to add photos.
Many universities have explored or developed different solutions to comply with record-keeping requirements. Although paper, Excel and Access-based systems may seem a cheap solution, this is far from the truth.
The actual time involved in maintaining these, the lack of control or real-time compliance, and the potential for errors make a dedicated system like IsoStock a much more attractive solution. A complete solution, with all data managed inside the application, integrated editing functionality and comprehensive audit trail.
IsoStock offers universities a system designed and built to do the job by a provider with 25 years of experience working and being trusted by universities. Simple and straightforward implementation, we work with you to ensure the system is configured and usable from day one.
IsoStock users benefit from on-going and continuous product development based on user feedback. The preconfigured reports enable you to save time and report effectively for EA compliance regardless of the number of departments or laboratories you have.
