New RT30MKII- manufactured by Georadis
3 February 2022
As of the start of 2022 Georadis has released the new upgraded RT30-MKII Isotope Identification meter.
Manufactured by Georadis, the RT30 MKII has all of the functions of the RT30 although has a larger sun readable display ensuring the readings can be read easily whilst in the field, its new design ensures all of the electronics are enclosed in a compact, easily portable handheld device. This Isotope identification instrument is designed for field use allowing the user to collect a number of measurements from samples and can be used in a number of applications which include waste/ scrap metal recycling, research labs and production facilities. Its scintillation detection probe uses a photomultiplier tube with up to date silicon photomultipliers technology and a larger detector.
As with the previous model the RT30 MKII integrates a radiation survey, dose meter and radionuclide identification in one compact device and has automatic stabilization on natural background radiation throughout its operation. The meter has an ARM processor and a programmable array (FPGA), this combination allows the meter to handle other sensors at the same time as the gamma ray section (Geiger-Muller counter and Neutron detector - standard offer). It is capable of holding multiple detectors with a maximum detector size of 2” x 2” or 5” with silicon PMT (SIPM or MPPC).
The RT30 MKII can support existing as well as new communication standards with wide compatibility, it is Bluetooth enabled and has its own built in GPS unit for time synchronization, allowing both recorded measurements and GPS measurements to be stored. With an increased sensitivity and a robust design this is an ideal instrument for field geology/ mapping and radiological studies and can also be used in harsh environments.
We look forward to providing you with some further information on the GT30 and GT32 MKII which are coming out later this year mid-summer. These new devices will be suited to more geological and core sampling applications.
