Ideal alternative to traditional water tanks for performing routine QA checks of a linear accelerator using photon or electron beams.

Tested and Calibrated: Slabs from this unique material are exceptionally strong and will not stick together when stacked or stored. Each production run is tested at an independent calibration laboratory and certified to be within 0.5% of water at photon and electron energies. It's not affected by changes in humidity or temperature and does not exhibit charge storage effects, a problem common in other water-equivalent materials.

Setting the Standard in Water-Equivalency: Slabs are made from water-equivalent material, and are developed to be free of contaminants and air.
