Gamma ray detector FoodGuard-2

for the food industrymonitoring

The FoodGuard-2 workstation is an out-of-the-box system to meet the needs of agencies needing to accurately quantify the levels of radionuclides in food. By the use of a high resolution high purity germanium (HPGe) radiation detector, each and every gamma-emitting radionuclide in the sample may be quantified in terms of specific activity in Bq/kilogram or Bq/liter. Designed specifically for agricultural monitoring, FoodGuard-2 presents an intuitive software interface to move you from test setup to clear results quickly. Complete, out-of-the-box solution designed specifically for measuring gamma ray emitting radioactive contaminants in food and water. Simple and interactive user interface to increase efficiency and decrease error. Editable activity limits tables derived from international standards for permissible radiation levels in food. Configurable alarms activated when activity level, percentage, or sum of activities is exceeded. Professional and customizable reports, in HTML and PDF format, for easy sharing and archiving of results. Supplied pre-calibrated with a 40K check source and 2-liter Marinelli beakers. Operator selectable calibration files for supporting additional sample containers and geometries. The ORTEC FoodGuard-2 workstation is a ready-to-use, full featured system for performing sophisticated analysis of food, water, and other agricultural samples containing any form of gamma ray emitting radioactive material which can be present following an accident or terrorist incident. By the use of a high-resolution, high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector,
