Thermo Fisher Develops New Radiation Detector

摘要

Thermo Fisher is introducing an upgraded radiation detector designed for challenging environments. "We decided to incorporate ... all of our premium technologies into a single unit," said Johnny Long, global product manager for radiation detection at the Waltham, Massachusetts-based company. The Thermo Fisher Scientific RadEye SPRD-ER is mainly used for search, identification and response missions, according to the company. The radiation detector, which was launched in August, was designed to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments. "We're actually already taking orders and it is in manufacturing," Long said. The unit has several new updates over the company's legacy devices, including a new high dose-rate measurement and algorithms for quick radiation detection.
