  6. Where is Sun Nuclear located? • Sun Nuclear is located in Melbourne, USA • Coastal city of 550,000 • Space and defense industries including NASA • 80km from Orlando

  7. What Does Sun Nuclear do? Sun Nuclear Corporation designs, manufactures, distributes, and servicesradiation measurement instrumentation and support software used primarily in the Medical Physics, Nuclear Medicine, and Environmental Monitoring industries.

  8. Sun Nuclear Facts Incorporated 1984 Privately held Florida “Space Coast” location 30,000 sq. ft. facility Two Radiation Bunkers Clinac 2100C, 80 leaf MLC (X: 6,15 MV; e: 6,9,12,15, 18 MeV) Cobalt 60, 2000 Ci Medical Physics Dosimetry & QA US market share leader in Medical Physics QA 45 worldwide distributors Household names: PROFILERTM, MapCHECKTM, Daily QATM, IVDTM Nuclear Medicine (dose calibrators, multi-channel analyzers) Environmental Radiation (radon monitors) Vertically Integrated All R&D, manufacturing, support provided by SNC FDA, ISO, CE, CMDCAS registrations

  9. Innovation: First commercial QA database c. 1996 First commercial 2D array for IMRT QA c. 2002 First commercial EPID based software dosimetry solution c. 2007 Involvement: Employees on numerous AAPM task groups Authorship of numerous publications in medical physics journals Hostannual QA & Dosimetry Symposium Research: Recipient of 2 Federal SBIR awards (Radon & Benchmark Linac Data) Numerous patents awarded and pending Extensive research on detector technology; diodes, ion chambers, film Numerous OEM cooperative partnerships Market Penetration: Installed user base >4000 Annual user meeting with >300 guests Track Record of Success

  10. Dealer Representation 42 people 27 countries represented Name, company, country, job at company

  11. Sun Nuclear Global Presence QA market share leader in the US… …but now also market share leader in multiple international markets International Sales 2006-2010

  12. Outstanding Customer Support Customer support at no charge for life of the product Web support available Dedicated ‘Client Solutions’ team ensures quick responses to customer inquiries Strong interface with the Sun Nuclear physics team Vertical integration ensures excellent in-house knowledge for ALL products in the SNC product portfolio – no outsourcing Dedicated worldwide Product Specialists to provide regional support: Based in Germany, Spain, Brazil, China, and India

  13. Education • Annual QA & Dosimetry Symposium • Attended by Physicists worldwide to learn about latest practices and future developments in QA and Dosimetry • Speakers are industry leaders in their field • Webinars • Educational webinars on new tools and solutions for QA & Dosimetry

  14. Detector Technology Sun Nuclear’s objective is simple: To provide the Medical Physics community with a fresh approach to radiation measurement by improving the measurement quality while also streamlining the process. Sun Nuclearmanufactures radiation therapy quality assurance instruments using both diode and ionization chamber technology. Sun Nuclear chooses a detector type based on the application for which the instrument is intended. The Daily QA 3™ uses both detector types. Applications involving the measurement of steep dose gradients require a small detector if accurate and precise measurements are desired.
