  • More Information +


    The ORT-ASC-950-DP-G is a high-speed counter equipped with a dual phosphor scintillator type detector that supports gasless operation and easy portability. Cosmic background radiation reduction is possible with the optional Anti-Coincidence Guard Detector. 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.

    • A built-in color touch screen interface
    • Ability to export data directly to a computer using the PIC Link option
    • Ability to program routines and QC charts on a PC running the included DUO Express software, then transfer the routines to the instrument using a direct-connect PIC Link cable
