HPGe Spectrometer with Lead Shield

Complete laboratory spectrometer with a coaxial HPGe detector in a lead shield, for radionuclide analysis of environmental and food samples.

The spectrometer is commonly used to measure gamma radiation in rocks, minerals, sludge, slag, soil, plants, sediments and food. The integrated lead shielding minimises background radiation, improving detection sensitivity and accuracy for laboratory analysis.

  • Radionuclide identification and determination of their specific activity
  • Separate and simultaneous measurement of activity of 100 radionuclides
  • Detection limit 0.5 Bq/kg for Cs-137 with 1 hour measurement time
  • Low instrumental background, in standard spectrometric, low-background or ultra low-background grades
  • Lead thicknesses 100 mm and 150 mm
