    The WPC-1050 is a general purpose low background counting system, which is widely used for both health physics and radiochemistry applications. The WPC-1050 is an improved design of the previous WPC-9550 that incorporates the same dependable mechanical platform with improvements. DUO Express software allows for easy system programming, data management, and control chart maintenance. Multiple instruments can be connected for user convenience. This sample counter is ideal for standard Health Physics applications such as smears and air filters. Includes 1 ea. PIC Link Cable, 1 each Standard Carrier Set, and 55 ea. 1/8 in Inserts.
