Useful for Detecting and Measuring Radioactivity This Digital Geiger Counter is ideal for many applications, including emergency services and domestic preparedness, HAZMAT and compliance verification, dirty bomb screening and EMT's.
The digital geiger counter has a 16 character by 2 line LCD digital display which shows the Count Per Timing Mode; either Second (CPS), Minute (CPM) or 5 Minute on line one and the equivalent radiation level on line two.
Secondary indicators produce an audio click and LED blink each time a radioactive particle is detected. Digital information (Counts Per Second (CPS) may be sent serially to a Windows PC program for charting and recording the measured radiation over time.
All Geiger counters sold by VWR Education Companies are for educational purposes only. They will measure different types of radiation including alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays, but they should not be used for any health, safety or medical purposes, or to determine a human being's safety in an area that is suspected of radiation exposure.
We recommend that customers reference the World Health Organization (WHO) for the most up to date information surrounding the situation in Japan.
Our Geiger counters will detect different types of radiation, but unless you know how to properly calibrate them and interpret the data, these Geiger counters should not be used to determine safe or unsafe levels of radiation exposure.
