RadEye HEC+ Alpha/Beta Sample Counter

Portable sample counter with a windowless scintillator, providing simultaneous alpha and beta measurements of samples, filters and test sources.

The RadEye HEC+ is a portable sample counter providing simultaneous alpha and beta measurements. Samples are placed in a sample drawer with adapters for a variety of circular and rectangular air filters and test sources, and detector performance is easily verified with a Lutetium Test Adapter.

Source tests are automatically prompted at user-defined intervals, and all check source events are logged. A carrying handle and rechargeable battery make the unit easy to use in the field, and readings are logged automatically for retrieval to a PC.

  • Simultaneous alpha/beta measurements in classic mode
  • EC mode for low-energy beta emitters (e.g. Ni-63) and electron capture nuclides (e.g. Fe-55, Mn-54, Cr-51)
  • Cost-effective alternative to liquid scintillation counters for Ni-63 and H-3 samples
  • Customisable library of up to 16 nuclides with automated half-life correction
  • 800 hours battery operation between charges
