µECD licenses
Customers in the United States can purchase a µECD under either a General
License or a Specific License. Customers outside the United States should
contact their local Agilent sales office for information.
The license details below reflect U.S. regulations.
Specific license
Specific license µECDs require you to obtain a Materials License from the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or local state agency, permitting you to
possess the amount and kind of radioisotope used in the detector. You can
typically ship, sell, or transfer the µECD to other Specific Licensees. If the
license permits, you may also open the µECD for cleaning.
General license
General license µECDs do not require a Materials License. You become a
General Licensee automatically when you purchase a µECD directly from Agi-
lent Technologies. Some states may require that you register the µECD with a
state agency.
Certain restrictions apply to General Licenses:
