Hidex Triathler LSC
Triathler is a portable single-sample liquid scintillation counter, which provides fast and accurate results for several life science and environmental applications. It can count all radioisotopes including tritium in a variety of sample formats. Due to its very small size and light weight, Triathler can be taken into the field to measure samples on the spot. Although compact, Triathler has many advanced features such as advanced spectrum analysis using a multichannel analyzer (MCA), Instant DPM results, single-photon luminescence counting, and optional alpha beta separation.
Ideal for:
• Homeland Security
• Radiation Safety
• Wipe Tests
• Life Sciences• Molecular Biology
Key Features
Monitoring Applications
Water Measurements: Optional alpha-beta separation for detecting isotopes like Radon (222Rn) in water.
Soil Measurements: Can measure soil contamination for various radioisotopes using proper techniques.
Advanced Technologies
Life Sciences Applications
Marine Biology: Used to measure phytoplankton growth in water via 14C uptake.
Research: Effective for detecting beta and gamma isotopes (3H, 14C, 125I).
Luminescence: Functions as a high-sensitivity luminometer for assays like ATP monitoring and luciferase, with an optional reagent detector for kinetic measurements.
