The AustralRad Alpha - Beta Counter PC was developed by Gammasonics to detect and analyze Alpha or Alpha/Beta emitting radionuclides.

AustralRad Alpha-Beta Counter PC sample counting system was developed by Gammasonics to detect and analyze Alpha or Alpha/Beta emitting radionuclides.


Uses a Scintillator with a built in stainless steel sample holder plus a high voltage supply, pre-amplifier and software integrated into the laptop,
completing the system.


Additional lead shielding is optional.
The AustralRad Alpha-Beta Counter PC is a fully integrated system permitting the user to achieve measurements and carry out analysis of the information in real-time.


The system can be programmed to perform remote sampling or simply transmit the data to a remote site utilizing a network system or Internet from anywhere in the world.

Applications :

Applications can be found for the Australrad Alpha-Beta PC in sand mining, effluent discharge, uranium , thorium, mining and where the possibilities of Alpha and or Beta emitters are present.

The system has been designed to help reduce the long time delay between sampling and data availability, and multiple handling and processing steps that make it susceptible to errors.

The Australrad Alpha-Beta PC is a flexible tool that can be accommodated with a Multi Channel Analyser as an option.

The Australrad Alpha-Beta PC a can be supplied as a Beta detector or a dual phosphor alpha/beta scintillator with the built in sampler holder for the simultaneous acquisition of Alpha-Beta sampling counting.
