Aegis™

Description

The Aegis transportable, battery-powered HPGe gamma spectrometer offers many state-of-the-art features, such as a thermal-cycle free cryostat, an integrated all-in-one design and laboratory-grade energy resolution. All this is combined with larger HPGe crystals and the option to integrate with a Remote Detector Chamber (RDC) cryostat, enabling detector backshielding. These features make the Aegis spectrometer easily deployable for multiple uses in the field or in the lab.

With IP65 ingress protection rating and no cooling fans, the system can be deployed in heavy rain conditions and dusty environments without the risk of contaminating internal parts. The exterior surface is designed to be easily decontaminated and put back into service quickly. With an integrated, highly efficient cooler, the detector remains cooled down in a wide ambient temperature range up to 50 °C (or 122 °F).

The Aegis spectrometer is either controlled by Genie software when measuring in a traditional sample counting mode, either by the embedded Aegis Dashboard UI, when measuring in an automated Continuous Spectroscopic Monitoring (CSM) mode. As the all-in-one Aegis system can be easily deployed in challenging in-situ environments, the embedded CSM features provide powerful benefits:

• Monitor isotopic activity levels in real time
• Reduce worker exposure risk of manual sampling
• See risk signals and respond faster
• Make data-driven decisions to support safe and efficient operations
