Ortec Introduces New Range of Alpha Spectrometers
OAK RIDGE, TN- The ORTEC® Products Group of AMETEK Advanced Measurement Technology (AMT) has introduced the Alpha Suite family of all-in-one alpha spectrometers for use in mobile environmental laboratories and counting room applications.
The Alpha Suite is the first alpha spectrometer to employ integrated digital signal processing multichannel analyzers, achieving a very high level of stability that is a major advantage for long counting times with low-level samples.
"We conceived of the Alpha Suite following years of experience with our OCTETE Alpha systems in counting rooms around the world and decided to utilize a new modular approach that incorporates the latest digital signal processing techniques," notes Tim Twomey, ORTEC Product Manager. "We believe the resulting product family represents a new milestone in the development of digital, integrated nuclear spectroscopy, offering unmatched value and performance."
The Alpha Suite product family includes the NIM-based, single-channel Alpha Aria; the innovative, two-channel, bench-top Alpha Duo, and the flexible Alpha Ensemble, a single instrument that is expandable from two to eight channels.
Each instrument in the Alpha Suite family requires only a power source, vacuum pump and a USB connection to a PC. Each has one or more spectroscopy channels consisting of a vacuum chamber, digital signal processing electronics and multichannel analyzer function. ORTEC ULTRA series ion-implanted silicon detectors are recommended.
ORTEC Products Group of AMETEK AMT, which celebrates 50 years of service in 2010, is a leader in the design and manufacture of highly sensitive radiation detectors that are used by government and industrial laboratories, nuclear facilities and medical research and in nuclear safeguards.
