HPGe gamma-ray all-in-one spectrometer: ORTEC’s LDM-1, nu bij PEO

ORTEC introduces LDM-1, an integrated gamma-ray spectrometer for fixed and mobile counting room applications.

The self-contained Laboratory Detector Module (LDM-1) uses a High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) digital spectroscopy system that eliminates liquid nitrogen and is immune to thermal cycling.

The all-in-one configuration of the LDM-1 along with its small laboratory footprint and low-power consumption make it highly desirable for MOBILE counting laboratories.

The LDM-1 includes the highly successful MAESTRO MCA Emulator. This software includes features as:

• identifying peaks
• editing libraries, and creating, printing and saving Regions of Interest (ROI)
• performing energy calibrations
• automating tasks

advantages

• complete Turn-Key Solution
• increases productivity and instrument uptime due to the fact that thermal cycling is never required on a partial warm up
• reduces cost and improves safety since liquid nitrogen is not required
• ideal for small of confined saces
  • space saving integrated design
  • quiet in operation
  • generates very little waste heat (<20 watts)
• eases installation due to lightweight design (7,3 kg)
  • it easily fits into standard existing lead shields and
  • only requires a single USB 2.0 cable to connect to the computer
• low power consumption reduces operating costs, it consumes < 30 watts
• continuous operation via redundant power options
  • integrated battery (operation time up to 4 hours)
  • optional hot swappable battery extender the system continues operating for 18 hours
• MAESTRO MultiChannel Analyzer (MCA) Emulator software is included
  • toolkit enables LDM-1 to integrate into your own software systems

scope

• fixed and mobile counting room applications
• Homeland Security

characteristics

• high-reliability Stirling cycle cooler cools rapidly to operating temperature
• hardened cryostat designed for long operational life
• can be temperature cycled at any time, even from partial warm up
• highly sensitive 65mm Ø x 50mm HPGe detector
• SMART-1 diagnostics: state-of-health and instrument status available at a glance
• Low Frequency Rejector (LFR) improves spectrum resolution in noisy environments
• relative efficiency 40% typical (ANSI/IEEE 325-1996)
• cryostat metal sealed “Hardened” for zero maintenance. No Molecular Sieve is used
• cool down time typically <12 hours at 25°C
• energy range 40 keV to 7 MeV Full Scale
