Features/Benefits
- NaIL
- Helium-3 free alternative
- Most cost-effective solution for dual detection
- Reduced user fatigue with a lighter weight RIID due to the elimination of second neutron detector
- CLLB
- Helium-3 free alternative
- Improved detection capability and faster scans due to improved isotope identification from its superior energy resolution
- Reduced user fatigue with a lighter weight RIID due to the elimination of second neutron detector
- LaBr3 or Enhanced LaBr3
- Improved detection capability and faster scans due to improved isotope identification from its superior energy resolution
- Reduced user fatigue with a lighter weight RIID due to high density and high stopping power
- SiPM- Based Detectors
- Low power operation enables a longer-lasting RIID to eliminate multiple battery changes.
- Reduced user fatigue with a more compact design over a PMT detector
- Improved detector capability through magnetic field insensitivity
