Detective X Electric Refrigeration Portable High Purity Germanium Gamma Spectrometer

Portable High Purity Germanium Gamma Spectrometer

Product introduction

How can the "gold standard" of nuclear threat detection and identification be improved? ORTEC's new Detective X high-purity germanium (HPGe) "RIID" achieves just that through a combination of improved identification methods, improved modes of operation, better interconnect capabilities, and longer battery life.

Detection and identification functions

• Larger HPGe crystal, three times more efficient than Micro-Detective-HX.

• Improved algorithms that increase the probability of detection.

• Nuclide library of over 175 radionuclides including new radiopharmaceuticals.

• Better long-distance detection and identification capabilities.

Operational improvement

• Rugged instrument designed for harsh environments (IP65 compliant).

• Significant weight reduction (approximately half of Detective-EX-100T).

• Doubles battery life and supports hot swapping.

• New Li6/ZnS Neutron Detector Module (NDM), 3He free.

• Larger display for easy reading in sunlight.

Quality improvement

• New Stirling cooler with greater cooling capacity and longer mean time between failures.

• Lighter and stronger with an extremely rigid polycarbonate shell.

• Enhanced connectivity options

• System includes built-in Ethernet connection (RJ45).

• Plug and play with USB connection to computer.

• USB stick can store > 100,000 spectra.

• Mobile phone interconnection and instrument control support iOS, Android and Windows platforms.

• WiFi and Bluetooth come standard with the Detective X.

Technical Parameters

• Nuclide identification: P-type high-purity germanium (HPGe) crystal, coaxial structure. Crystal nominal size 65 mm diameter x 50 mm long.

• Cryostats and Freezers: "Ultra High Vacuum" cryostats, and highly reliable low power Stirling coolers. The cryostat is designed so that the user can turn the Detective X off and back on at any time without having to wait for a full rewarm cycle (complete rewarming before cooling down). This feature greatly increases system availability during measurement campaigns.

• Display: 4.3-inch WQVGA (480 x 272 pixels) sunlight-readable, touch-sensitive, and operable with a finger or stylus.

• Data Processor: FREESCALE I.MX535, operating at 1 GHz.

• Maximum overall dimensions: (including handle and Ge detector end cap) 15.5"L x 6.25"W x 8.25"H (39.5 cm L x 16 cm W x 21 cm H).

• Weight: 15 lbs (γ only). 17 lbs (gamma/neutron).
