Lowest-Level γ-Spectrometer

with ultra low-background HPGe detectors, special lead & Cu shields, μ-veto shield as well as n- & Rn-suppression.

Application for nuclear sample mesurements

  • Ultra low-level background in vitro -
    γ-spectrometers (ULB) are designed for
    the direct assessment of extremely low
    sample activities (contaminations).

  • The concept and performance of our ULB spectrometers are designed for lowest limit of detection using the comfort of a ground level laboratory with fast and easy sample change compared to  undergraund labporatories.

In radiation protection for national & international institudes and industry

  • In Universities, research centers, nuclear medicine

  • dustry- and nuclear technology

  • Dismantling, consulting, waste management

  • Environmental, health and food surveillance and laboratories

  • Civil defense, emergency response, border, safety, security and access control

TIME IS MONEY!

As an example of minimum detectable activity (MDA), the CTBTO laboratory criterion of 24 mBq Ba-140 (in 7 days measuring time) will be achieved with our design of ULB gamma -spectrometer systems installed on ground level laboratories in approximate 1.5 days (black line and dots).
