PA Series α Spectrometer

PA Series α Spectrometer

Product Description

PA Aeries Alpha Spectrometer is a high-performance PIPS silicon detector based radioactivity analyzer for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of radioactive materials in various environmental media. lt is available in two, four, eight, twelve and twenty-four channel formats with a choice of four effective detector areas: 300mm2, 450mm2, 600mm2 and1200mm2.

Functional features

• Integrated detection chamber, pre-release, main release and multi-channel using ion implantation silicon detectors (PIPS)
• Each channel has an independent signal amplification system, fully controlled by a computer programmer
• Detector to sample distance adjustable in steps: 10 to 65 mm, 15 steps in total
• Multi-channel analyzer: 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 channels adjustable in steps
• Clean exhaust ports are provided to reduce the accumulation of moisture and contaminants in the measurement room
• In emergency applications, measurements can be taken without establishing a vacuum status
• Low noise vacuum pump with filter at the exhaust port to remove oil contamination
• Computer programmed precision control, real-time display of vacuum level, good stability
• Runs on Windows and has a simple Chinese user interface
• The interface can display multiple measurement windows at the same time, or a single measurement window can be selected for enlarged display
