DECRIPTION OF Lab Scout – BS
The Lab Scout is a very easy to operate instrument to detect and quantify natural and artificial radionuclides in material samples. For standard operation procedure neither a computer nor special skills of the operator are required. On the other hand, the instrument can still be used as a flexible and powerful tool in the laboratory.
The high sensitive, temperature compensated 2 by 2 inch NaI detector with magnetic shielding offers an outstanding spectroscopic performance as well as a wide measurement range from 25 keV to 3 MeV. A two centimetre thick 360° lead shield is reducing the background radiation dramatically resulting in a lower statistical error and detection limit.
The included operation software for Windows computers allows an intuitive calibration just by a few mouse clicks using spectra of reference samples. In addition to the energy and peak width calibration an assistant for the efficiency calibration of any sample geometry is included. A number of calibration curves for standard sampling procedures (like Marinelli beaker) will be available to write them into the instrument.
You can create various nuclide lists of up to sixteen lines from an editable library with respect to your measuring problem. The acquired spectrum will be analysed for these lines by the advanced PSV (Peak Shape Verification) method. If a line becomes identified and verified, the weight-specific activity of the emitting nuclide will be calculated due to the integrated scale.
The typical application for the Lab-Scout is the quantitative analysis of samples with a known nuclide
mixture, such as:
• Uranium, radium, thorium and potassium in soil and rock samples
• Cs-137 content in natural samples (earth, building material, ash, biomass, etc.).
• Monitoring of material samples (fertilizers, cement, etc.)
A sensitive and high-resolution 2 “x 2” NaI crystal is used as a detector, which in conjunction with the
implemented spectroscopic analysis enables to determine the activity of individual nuclides. Thanks
to the integrated balance, the results can be shown directly in Bq / kg, which is relevant for the limit
values. The device can also be operated by less qualified personnel with just a single button. The
ergonomic design allows a high sample throughput with minimal space requirements. The Lab Scout
has a lead shield to reduce the natural ambient radiation. The Lab-Scout Works operating software
enables the analysis to be optimally adapted to each sample type, so that the Lab-Scout can replace
in many cases an expensive and time-consuming laboratory analysis.
Applications:
- to determine the weight-specific activity of natural and artificial radionuclides in material samples
- for monitoring measurements of food, building materials and ash from biomass power plants and much more
Features:
- spectroscopic resolution and a measuring range from 25 keV to 3 MeV
- 360° lead shielding to reduce background radiation and lower detection limits
- editable nuclide library, nuclide lists with up to 16 emission lines
- built-in balance to determine the weight-specific activity of the nuclide in the sample
