| Features • Turnkey automatic gamma spectroscopy instrument • Automatic sample changer handles multiple geometries simultaneously • Designed to count samples to sensitivities required by regulatory limits • Low background design • Straightforward lab oriented user interface dialog • Extensive QA record keeping built in • Connects directly to Ethernet network • Small physical dimensions for mobile or restricted space applications • Supported by a full suite of integration, installation, calibration and training services Description APPLICATION OVERVIEW Counting laboratories involved in the routine qualification and quantification of gamma emitting nuclides are burdened with the often overwhelming problem of sample management. How can sample throughput be maximized while addressing the need to meet stringent detection limits and quality standards? The normal approach is to utilize one or more technicians to manually load and count successive samples to a fixed counting time. However, this is very labor intensive and not an extremely efficient solution to the problem. Canberra's Gamma Analyst is a dedicated turnkey instrument which maximizes instrument utilization and produces high quality results. The automatic sample changer facilitates maximum sample throughput with the added flexibility to handle multiple sample geometries in any combination in a single sample batch. In addition to the features which facilitate flexible batch maintenance, the sample changer design minimizes the use of critical laboratory space for the gamma spectrometer. The instrument's performance is further enhanced by the flexibility of the software which allows the operator to define a unique assay protocol (count time, geometry, data reduction sequence, library, reports, etc.) on a sample by sample basis. A unique "Count to MDA" feature makes the most efficient use of the limited counting time available, by actually calculating the count time required to achieve a specified MDA and counting only for that period of time, thus shortening the count time for most samples. A TURNKEY INSTRUMENT The Gamma Analyst is a turnkey instrument solution from Canberra. The Gamma Analyst is available with a full suite of integration, installation, calibration and training services that let you begin productive sample counting on day one. Traditionally, the user of a gamma spectroscopy system might spend large amounts of time integrating components, setting up hardware and software, building analysis protocols, calibrating for all the required geometries, training operators and writing operating procedures. With the Gamma Analyst and the full suite of installation and calibration services, this will all be done by Canberra - resulting in a much shorter time - usually a few days -to bring the new counting capacity on line. | The Gamma Analyst is fully integrated at the Canberra factory. Trained experts accompany the instrument to your site and perform a full installation, site test, setup and basic training. Optionally, the instrument setup can be extended with a full set of calibrations - thus resulting in an instrument that is tailored to your specific lab operation and ready to count. Written operating procedures are also supplied, so your operators can immediately begin working. INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE Canberra has carefully standardized all facets of the spectrometer - detector, shield, electronics and software and optimized those components to provide the optimum sensitivity. This process of standardization allows the Gamma Analyst to be characterized in terms of sensitivity performance (Minimum Detectable Activities). The instrument is available in two standard designs, the GAM-AN1 for routine counting and the GAM-AN2 for applications requiring increased counting sensitivities. Equivalent instruments with electrical cooling (GAM-AN1F and GAM-AN2F respectively) are available. For a brief comparison of the sensitivity performance of the two models see Tables 1 and 2. A more detailed comparison can be found in the "Gamma Analyst Performance Characteristics" application note. | ||
