November 29th, 2021 - Detect and Identify! The Future of Radioisotope Devices (RIID)

SAM 940+ | Detect and Identify! The Latest Radioisotope Solution - The SAM 940+ makes its awaited debut in a demanding and necessary industry! 

As nuclear materials are put towards an increasing number of medical and industrial applications, radiation detection and radionuclide identification have been paramount by measuring the energy released from gamma rays. Radionuclide identification devices or RIIDs can identify hazardous materials that were spilled in transport or are currently leaking out of protective containers. 

Society continues to look for avenues to improve and make life more convenient. The radiation/nuclear industry is no different. Several reputable companies have designed their RIIDs to constantly try and keep up with the heightened demands.  However, Berkeley Nucleonics (BNC) is excited for the anticipated release of its latest RIID, which encapsulates both convenience and performance—introducing the SAM 940+! 

The SAM 940+ is the latest in hand-held RIID solutions. The SAM 940+ is a culmination of BNC’s experience in radiation detection and identification. The new hand-held RIID is a fraction of its predecessor's size (SAM 940). Its new compact and lightweight form factor is condensed with the requirements the market asks for. Not to mention the various detectors that make this unit fully customizable to the user’s applications. Let’s take a look at some of the unit's key features. 

The SAM 940+ complies with ANSI, making it a device entirely operated for the most challenging external conditions. Also, a rechargeable and swappable battery conveniently allows the user to perform with the instrument throughout the day. Identifying an isotope is extremely crucial when it comes to RIIDs, and the SAM 940+ is capable of efficiently identifying only the essential isotopes. Finally, in an age where the expediency of media is a top priority, the SAM 940+'s high-resolution camera and "one-click" reach back makes sending files to pre-designated locations a simple solution. 

New technologies are being spotlighted daily in the world. BNC prides itself in remaining to be a trustworthy figure and listener in the test & measurement and nuclear industries. Designing and helping for the future.
