sensors that can detect CBRN agents in real-time

Portable radiation detector used by first responders

The Advantage for portable detection

Fast, accurate isotope identification - LaBr₃, Enhanced LaBr, CLLB
Lightweight design to limit user fatigue – SiPM based detectors, LaBr₃, Enhanced LaBr, CLLB
Neutron detection performance without He3 - NaIL, CLLB
Ruggedized construction
Cost-effective solutions – NaI(Tl), NaIL, SiPM based detectors
ANSI compliant
IP67 rated to survive tough missions - SiPM based detectors

SiPM integration
The switch from PMT to SiPM with 2" diameter x 2" scintillation crystal will result in a weight reduction of 0.15 lbs (68 grams) and 5 times longer battery life.

SiPM and PMT based scintillation detectors

Scintillator size 2" x 2"	Length saved	Volume gained
Nal(TI) or NaIL	2.73” (69.3 mm)	12.2 cu inch (200 ccm)
CLLB, LaBr₃ or Enhanced LaBr₃	2.47” (62.8 mm)	11.3 cu inch (185 ccm)
Scintillator size 2" x 4" x 4"
Nal(TI) or NaIL	4.423" (112.344 mm)	45 cu inch (737ccm)

2" x 2" scintillator coupled to PMT (left) and two examples with SiPM integration

NaIL
- Helium-3 free alternative
- Most cost-effective solution for dual detection
- Reduced user fatigue with a lighter weight RIID due to the elimination of second neutron detector
CLLB
- Helium-3 free alternative
- Improved detection capability and faster scans due to improved isotope identification from its superior energy resolution
- Reduced user fatigue with a lighter weight RIID due to the elimination of second neutron detector
LaBr₃ or Enhanced LaBr₃
- Improved detection capability and faster scans due to improved isotope identification from its superior energy resolution
- Reduced user fatigue with a lighter weight RIID due to high density and high stopping power
SiPM - Based Detectors
- Low power operation enables a longer-lasting RIID to eliminate multiple battery changes.
- Reduced user fatigue with a more compact design over a PMT detector
- Improved detector capability through magnetic field insensitivity

Think of the possibilities for; First Responders and Emergency Management, Customs and Border Protection, Security and Protection Forces, Nuclear Safeguards, Environmental Monitoring, Health Physics, Nuclear Medicine and Scientific Institutes, Scrap Steel Monitoring.
