Activity

In order to meet radiological safety regulations for handling radioactive substances different sampling  methods are used in the laboratory to measure activity such as smear samples, aerosol filters and evaporation residues. Environmental, drinking water and foodstuff samples may require the measurement of radioactivity and Berthold supplies well-proven and easy to operate instruments for these tasks.

Berthold offers several instruments for alpha-, beta or gamma counting. Especially for environmental samples or wipe tests there are low or even very low detection limits required. Our low-level counters meet these requirements. They use special background reduc­tion techniques, selected detector materials and lead shielding to provide excellent detection limits.
