Analyses Performed Using Gamma Spectrometric Methods

Nuclear Physics Research: Gaining information about nuclear structure and interactions by examining the energy levels of atomic nuclei. Studies to understand the behavior of fundamental particles.

Medicine: Determining the properties of radioactive isotopes used in imaging techniques, and evaluating whether dental materials are suitable for human health.

Environmental Monitoring: Detecting and monitoring radioactive contamination in environmental samples such as soil, water, and air. This is particularly important for monitoring environmental effects following nuclear accidents.

Geological Studies: Identifying underground mineral deposits and formations. Characterization of the distribution of specific radioactive isotopes on the earth's surface and underground resources.

Archaeology and Anthropology: Gaining information about the age and origin of objects from prehistoric periods. Archaeologists and anthropologists can date materials from ancient times by analyzing the radioactive isotopes they contain.

Food and Agriculture: Determining the levels of radioactive contamination in agricultural products. This detection is important for food safety and quality control of agricultural products.

Security and Nuclear Oversight: Examination for security and nuclear oversight purposes to monitor the illegal trade and use of radioactive materials.

Analysis of Building Materials: Assessing the radioactive content of construction materials and structures. This is important for providing information about radiation levels in buildings and infrastructure, as well as determining the radiation absorption parameters of materials.

Industrial Applications: In metallurgy, mining, and other industries, gamma spectrometry is used to analyze the composition of materials and ensure quality control.

Technical Specifications

Unlike standard HPGe detectors, the PROFILE series high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector allows for high efficiency and resolution counts, including low energies down to 3 keV, providing high energy resolution, stability, accuracy, and precision.
