The portable Radhound radiation detection instrument is a cost effective, feature packed digital radiation monitor that is simple and easy to use. The radiation count rate is displayed in large clear numbers and also on a bar scale. Our smart averaging software means a steady display that can be read with confidence, yet provides a fast response.

For source finding, one button push on the radiation detection meter changes the display to a histogram plot. Alpha and Beta/Gamma counts can be displayed separately or on the same screen.

For surveying Radhound also has a time to count function.

Providing the sensitive response needed for the monitoring of gamma contamination, the Radhound Mini addresses the common pitfalls of traditional monitors such as excessive weight, cost, and fragility.

Available in two models, including a floor monitor, the Radhound Mini is a lightweight solution with an ergonomic design for single-handed contamination monitoring.

Simply point and aim.

Introducing SiPM detectors

The Radhound Mini features an integrated NaI(Tl) Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) detector. SiPMs are solid-state devices making them resistant to shock and vibrations that may occur because of extensive handling by users. They are commonly used in radiation detection and medical imaging systems.

Reduced size

Each detector has thousands of micron-sized avalanche photodiodes (APD) arranged in a bespoke array for optimal optical coupling with the Radhound Mini’s scintillation crystal. This reduces the monitor’s size and weight while maintaining counting efficiency.

Back-related injuries are not uncommon in healthcare workers who have to regularly bend and crouch as they sweep for contamination. The Radhound Mini F is designed to mitigate this when performing laborious tasks such as monitoring floors and patient toilets.

The Mini F has the same intuitive operation and functionality as that of the standard model. Users can measure tight and low areas from a standing position, whilst reducing exposure. It is lightweight and well balanced, ensuring that the system can be used comfortably for long periods of time.

And when finished, the Radhound Mini F can be stored tidily in its wall-mount.
