DESCRIPTION

AirTrack-Sr is the State of the Art among Aerosols Monitors, in terms of advanced design solutions and performances of the Alpha/Beta and Gamma spectrometric measurement chains. 

It is a budget friendly alternative to its higher performance version AirTrack-Ge equipped with electrically cooled HPGe detector. 

Thanks to the superior characteristics of its detector, the Gamma MCA is set-up for 4k channels, twice the number of channels normally usable with less performing scintillation detectors. 

The innovative unique use of a SrI2(Eu) crystal with its very low intrinsic background and very high photonic yield makes possible at a reasonable cost the implementation of an industrial grade equipment with laboratory grade analytical performances on-line.
