Service & reparation Request a quoteThe SPAB-15 probe for measurement of surface contamination is designed to be used with any CSP meter, like Colibri, RDS-32, Avior and MIP-10. Silicon PIPS detector with 15 cm² detection area with direct measurement of alpha and beta. PIPS technology brings numerous benefits never encountered before in hand-held applications;
- An improved MDA (much lower gamma background compared to other technologies).
- A very good alpha/beta discrimination (never met before with other type of detector).
- A durable entrance window (not sensitive to pressure, cleanable).
Calibration and QA measurements can be performed directly with the probe, without even using any instrument, by connecting the probe to a computer with CANBERRA Smart Probe Software (CSPS). A push-button located on the probe housing helps selects the counting mode. When pressed, the probe switches to the next mode in a list of three and the LED is activated accordingly:
– alpha only – LED off
– beta only – LED on
– alpha+beta – LED blinking
