Southern Scientific has been appointed as European agent for Tyne Engineering, a Canadian company that has provided high-quality tritium detection systems since 1983.
On behalf of Tyne Engineering, Southern Scientific now supplies expertise in tritium handling and measurement, providing air and surface activity monitors, passive diffusion cells, inline ionisation chambers and full tritium handling and extraction systems to the UK's nuclear, medical, pharmaceutical and waste management industries.
Two instruments that Southern Scientific considers of particular relevance to the UK market are a surface activity monitor that uses an open ionisation chamber to directly measure tritium surface contamination, and a tritium breath monitor that is much more convenient than taking urine samples.
Tyne Engineering offers products for measuring tritium in process lines, in air and in stack, as well as for measuring surface contamination and providing personnel dosimetry systems.
