The Thermo Scientific 1064Defender Raman Analyzer performs touchless, point and shoot scanning for narcotics identification and chemical identification.

Radiation detectors with natural background rejection (NBR)

Radiation detectors utilize technology that separates atoms into positive ions and electrons, which are then attracted to electrodes, causing a current to flow, and an electric signal to be generated. These electric signals can be measured as the amount of radiation. However, in real-world, field settings, naturally occurring radiation exists in varying levels from the earth and atmosphere, which can obscure and confuse targeted detection efforts. 

Natural Background Rejection (NBR) is a technology used to eliminate fluctuating natural background levels while measuring radiation. This proprietary and patented technology is used to quickly differentiate between natural and artificial radiation by stripping away any natural background radiation that is registering, delivering you a more accurate result of artificial radiation levels. Operators using instruments without NBR often set their alarm thresholds higher to eliminate the nuisances of false alarms or ignore alarms due to their frequency potentially missing out on hidden or shielded sources. Using an instrument with NBR allows you to keep your alarm threshold extremely low without the need to worry about false alarms from non-threatening sources so when the alarm goes off, you know it is time to take action and act.

RadEye G Series Personal Dose Rate Meters

The Thermo Scientific RadEye G Series Personal Dose Rate Meters provide first responders with quick, reliable gamma and dose rate measurements.

RadHalo RDP and FM Spectroscopic Area Monitors

The Thermo Scientific RadHalo RDP and FM Spectroscopic Area Monitors detect and identify radiation on location or from miles away.

PackEye Radiation Detection Backpack

The Thermo Scientific PackEye Radiation Detection Backpack provides your survey teams with a tool for effectively addressing the problems of orphaned sources, radiological contamination, and maliciously introduced sources.

RIIDEye Radiation Isotope Identifier

The Thermo Scientific RIIDEye X and RIIDEye M Handheld Radioisotope Identifiers, with patented Quadratic Compression Conversion (QCC) technology, are well suited to support users from homeland security operations to contamination monitoring and remediation.

RadEye AB100 Alpha-Beta Contamination Monitor

Safeguard your employees and help ensure a secure work environment with the Thermo Scientific RadEye AB100 Alpha-Beta Contamination Monitor. The RadEye AB100 monitor detects alpha/beta surface contamination in a range of environments using versatile operation modes so employees never risk exceeding exposure limits.

Dosimetry Instruments

Dosimetry instruments measure and monitor the radiation dose absorbed in the body resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation. Some jobs regularly expose workers to limited amounts of radiation, and workers are required to wear a dosimeter in order to monitor and track cumulative radiation exposure against a prescribed annual radiation dose limit.  Safety and security personnel, especially those tasked with threat detection, can be protected by monitoring any exposure using dosimetry technology.  Similarly, working environments where radiation exposure could occur can be monitored over a large area using environmental dosimetry systems.

EPD TruDose Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD)

The Thermo Scientific EPD TruDose Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD) monitors Gamma and Beta radiation in any environment where workers need to monitor their exposure to radiation, with improved accuracy and simplified operation over previous generations of EPDs.

TLD readers, cards and materials

Thermo Scientific TLD readers, cards and materials provide cost-effective measurements of the radiation dose absorbed by individual TLD elements for medical, nuclear, research, and health physics applications.

Dosimetry Services

Thermo Scientific Dosimetry Services offers you accurate measurement of radiation dose exposure in the workplace, ensuring worker safety. Badges are sent to the employer for employees to wear during a certain period. When the time periodtime is up, badges are returned to the Thermo Fisher Scientific facility to be analyzed.  Online reports are then generated and available to the employer.

For the presumptive identification or detection of narcotics, hazardous materials, chemical agents, explosives, and radiological threats only.
