Until the end of 2008, Lablogic Systems is supplying a free replacement probe with every three Rad Monitors sold.
The company offers three Geiger-Muller-based monitors for 14C, 32P, 33P and 35S.
The GM1 is a general-purpose monitor with a 28.5mm (1.125in) tube detector, a 1.5-2.0mg/cm2 window thickness and a thin screen that protects the end window.
The GM2 has a larger end window (45mm/1.75in), which is suitable for detecting soft beta emitters on hands, clothing and benchtops.
The GM2-P has a pancake probe and a large diameter GM tube for monitoring surfaces.
Completing the Rad Monitor range is the sodium iodide crystal-based SD10, which has a high-sensitivity scintillation probe for detecting 125I and 32P.
To help decide, Lablogic has an 'at-a-glance' leaflet providing guidance on which of the monitors is suitable for detecting more than 30 common radionuclides.
