The Mirion Coaxial Ge detector can be shipped and stored without cooling. However, long term stability is best preserved by keeping the detector cold. Like all germanium detectors, it must be cooled when it is used to avoid excessive thermally-generated leakage current. The non-perishable nature of this detector widens the application of Ge spectrometers to include field use of portable spectrometers.

The useful energy range of the Coaxial Ge detector is 40 keV to more than 10 MeV. The resolution and peak shapes are excellent and are available over a wide range of efficiencies. A list of available models is given in the accompanying table.
