FoodGuard-2-AK
Add-on kit that turns a GammaVision system into a FoodGuard-2 station
Add-on kit for existing ORTEC gamma spectrometry systems running GammaVision. It installs in minutes without affecting the GammaVision system and, once calibrated, gives the full features of the FoodGuard-2 for measuring gamma-emitting radioactivity in food, water and agricultural samples. The kit includes the software, Marinelli beakers and a KCl check source.
- Required combination
- Existing ORTEC gamma spectrometry system running GammaVision under Windows XP or Windows 7 (32-bit)1
- Contents
- FoodGuard-2 software (FG-2-B32, version 1.0.11 or later), CONNECTIONS upgrade (797230, version 7.02.03 or later), 6 × 2-litre Marinelli beakers and check source (2-litre Marinelli beaker filled with KCl, ⁴⁰K)1
- Detector requirement
- The beakers suit HPGe detectors with an endcap diameter of 83 mm or less1
- Cs-137 MDC
- Typical system with a 20% detector and 2-litre Marinelli beakers of liquid: 0.75 Bq/L in 10 minutes, 0.5 Bq/L in 30 minutes (ISO 11929; not guaranteed on any specific system)1
