Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) Spectrometer based on HPGe detector

Application

PGNAA Spectrometer is intended for:
  • Analysis of the radionuclide composition of samples containing trace amounts of radionuclides;
  • Search for decay products of radionuclides of anthropogenic or natural origin;
  • High registration efficiencies and low detection limits are achieved with;
  • Reduction of natural background levels through the use of materials purified from radionuclides;
  • Increase in peak contrast due to active suppression of Compton scattering quanta.
 PGNAA Spectrometer is applicable in:
  • Mining and Mineral Exploration: For accurate and rapid elemental analysis of ores and minerals.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Detecting and quantifying pollutants in soil and water.
  • Agriculture: Analyzing soil composition to optimize fertilizer use and crop yields.
  • Petrochemical Industry: Monitoring elemental composition in crude oil and its derivatives.
  • Geological Research: Studying rock and sediment samples for scientific research.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Ensuring the purity and composition of raw materials and finished products.
  • Academic and Research Institutions: Conducting advanced research in various scientific fields.

Features

This system can reduce the Compton background by more than 10 times depending on the energy range of the selected peak.
