Supported Hardware
ORTEC
Alpha Suite integrated spectrometers (Alpha Aria, Duo, Ensemble, and Mega) are recommended in order to take advantage of the software controlled operations and Windows 10 64-bit USB connectivity.
Legacy instrumentation compatible with ORTEC CONNECTIONS such as ORTEC OCTÊTE-PC, OCTÊTE-Plus, 576A,
Soloist, 920 series, and Oxford OASIS, as well as the ORTEC 676 Alpha King, Tennelec TC-256, and Canberra
7401/7404 models which are supported through ORTEC MCBs may be available through networked connection to
computers running compatible Operating Systems or using the
DPM-USB for native Windows 10 compatibility if
supported. Contact your local ORTEC representative for questions related to legacy instrument compatibility.
Analysis Methodology
- Peak Search/Fit Methods: Second Derivative (Mariscotti), Top Hat Correlation, Peak Interference Correction, ROI (Regions of Interest) including automatic shift of ROIs based on the Tracer Peak, Best Peak, or All Peak positions, and Interactive ROI Adjustment to optimize peak fit during reanalysis.
- Nuclide Activity Calculations: Absolute (no Tracer), Tracer Recovery Correction, Chemical Recovery Correction (Automatic and Manual), Background Subtraction, Blank Subtraction, Total Propagated Uncertainty.
- MDA Methods: KTA, Currie, ANSI N13.30, (corrections such as dilution scaling, tracer and chemical recovery, etc. included).
- Presets: Real and Live Time, Tracer Peak Area, MDA.
System Management
