PDS-100GN-ID Spectroscopic Pocket Radiation Detector w/ Identification

Manufacturer: Mirion Technologies (MGP)
Product ID : PDS-100GN-ID

Overview

The PDS-100GN/ID is the ultimate evolution of the gamma and gamma/neutron radiation detectors offering embedded spectrum acquisition and identification. These sensitive pocket-sized devices are designed to detect, locate, quantify and identify radioactive sources to discriminate on the spot, Naturally Occuring radioactive Material (NORM), main medical isotopes against industrial sources or Special Nuclear Materials. High sensitivity provides better spectra in a shorter time. Isotopes list is displayed and spectra are retained in memory for transfer to computer.

Description

The PDS-100G/ID and PDS-100GN/ID are the most ultimate evolution of the gamma and gamma/neutron radiation detectors offering embedded spectrum acquisition and identification.  These sensitive pocket-sized devices are designed to detect, locate, quantify and identify radioactive sources to discriminate on the spot, Naturally Occuring radioactive Material (NORM), main medical isotopes against industrial sources or Special Nuclear Materials. High sensitivity provides better spectra in a shorter time. Isotopes list is displayed and spectra are retained in memory for transfer to computer. PDS-100G/ID and PDS-100GN/ID have been designed specially for First Responders, Law Enforcement, Customs Inspectors, Border Patrol and for Personnel andSite Security in Critical Infrastructures.
