The SAM Defender
The portable SAM Defender was developed to give users what they need – simple operation for the first responder who needs to react quickly, as well as detailed analyses for the sophisticated technical user. Several modes of operation give all users the information they need right at their fingertips.
Upon power-up, the unit goes through a quick self-test and immediately begins monitoring; even after a lengthy power-down, temperature stabilization guarantees accurate identification results within the first five minutes. In extreme environmental conditions manual recalibration is available.

Detector Options:
The SAM systems offer several detector choices:
Sodium Iodide:
For isotope identification, good efficiency and optimum price/performance, the SAM Defender with Sodium Iodide (NaI) option gives users fast and accurate identification. The NaI option utilizes advanced algorithms to discriminate peaks and identify sources in real time.
Lanthanum Bromide:
For the spectroscopist order the SAM Revealer, which includes a Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr) detector. This new material offers the end users a typical resolution of 3% at 662 KeV and ensures the spectroscopic reports have unparalleled analytical capability.
Lithium:
For Sensitive Nuclear Material detection or safeguarding of weapon grade plutonium (WGPu), the Lithium ( 6Li) option allows users to alarm on neutrons and perform a variety of coincidence checks, comparing peak analysis with the presence of neutron radiation.
