Determination of gamma activity in foods with ease

Ensuring food and its ingredients are safe to eat and meet international limits has become increasingly important after nuclear accidents, such as Fukushima in 2011 and Chernobyl in 1986. The Becquerel Monitor LB 201 reliably detects gamma activities in food samples, liquids and smaller bulk goods.

From switching on the device to the result of the measurement is just a few steps. The simple software of the evaluation unit guides even users without prior knowledge to the measuring result with ease. Thereby, the use of a Marinelli sample cup made of plastic ensures a consistent measuring geometry.

The LB 201 comes with a tailored aluminum case in which all the device parts find space.

Thanks to the modular design consisting of two separate units, the LB 201 adapts perfectly to your workplace.

Therefore, the transport and the flexible application of the LB 201 is ensured.

The use of a Marinelli sample cup ensures a consistent measuring geometry. The plastic cup is ready for food samples, liquids and smaller bulk goods.

The automatic ⁴⁰K suppression helps with achieving a more reliable result. A second energy window is implemented in order to subtract the influence of the high energy gamma emitter from the measurement result.

General

• Measuring of ¹³⁷Cs in liquids and bulk goods by a 25 mm Ø × 25 Nal(TI) Crystal.
• Through the attributes of the device a low detection limit of 20 Bq/l (t = 1 h) can be achieved.

Features

• ⁴⁰K suppression by implementing a second energy window.
• The LB 201 can be operated as a stationary or a mobile device and is thus flexible for your application.
• The evaluation unit of the LB 201 can display the measurement results in cps, Bq/kg and Bq/l, associated with a time stamp.
• Sophisticated PC software tailored for your LB 201 helps you create protocols and manage measurements.
• The LB 201 is calibrated by the manufacturer and can be checked annually using the optional calibration source.
