LabSOCS (an abbreviation of "Laboratory Sourceless Calibration Software") is a proprietary efficiency calibration software. Its main purpose is producing quantitative gamma assays for various sample types and sizes.[1]
LabSOCS is based on the Mirion's ISOCS (In-Situ Object Calibration Software) software,[2] originally developed by Canberra Industries,[2] with the capability of handling energies ranging from 10 to 7000 keV.
Detector characterization
LabSOCS requires full factory characterization to be performed on the detector.[3] This characterization enables so-called sourceless efficiency calibrations, thus requiring only to input the physical and chemical features of the sample and the sample holder in order to perform calculations,[4]
Limitations of detector characterization
While the factory detector characterization simplifies the usage, it limits it only to newly installed detectors produced by Mirion. While it is technically possible to use old detectors and even from other manufacturers, that would require sending them to Mirion for characterization, which is expensive and potentially dangerous for the detector. Also, due to the changes of the detector parameters over time, such as crystal dead layer or the crystal to end-cap distance, detectors have to be sent back for a full recharacterization to improve the accuracy of the results.[5]
