LDM100-GEM

Integrated gamma-ray spectrometer

The ORTEC® Products Group, Oak Ridge, Tenn, of AMETEK Advanced Measurement Technology introduces its laboratory detector module, LDM100-GEM, an integrated gamma-ray spectrometer for fixed and mobile counting room applications. The self-contained LDM builds upon technologies developed for the ORTEC Detective family of portable nuclide identifiers. It is a compact, all-in-one unit that is quiet in operation and generates very little waste heat (less than 20 watts), making it ideal for small or confined spaces. The spectrometer is powered from a small 10- to 17V DC supply and has a built-in battery backup. Labs can create a complete gamma spectrometry system using only the LDM, a power source, and a PC on which to install the accompanying MAESTRO® MCA software.
