A 2 mm diameter by 10 mm long cylinder of fused SiO(2) (quartz) gamma-irradiated to 1 kGy with (60)Co contains about 2 x 10(16) spins/cm(3). It is proposed as a standard for monitoring signal-to-noise (S/N) performance of X-band pulsed EPR spectrometers. This sample yields S/N of about 25 on modern spin echo spectrometers, which permits measurement of both signal and noise under the same conditions with an 8-bit digitizer. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
