Radhound monitors are compatible with a broad range of Geiger-Müller, sodium iodide and plastic scintillator based probes to cover the whole spectrum of contamination and dose rate measurement requirements.

Radhound Multi-purpose Digital Radiation Meter 
A multi-purpose digital radiation survey meter suitable for all your contamination monitoring and radiation protection requirements, the Radhound is a cost effective, feature packed digital radiation monitor that is simple and easy to use.
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 changes the display to a histogram plot. Alpha and Beta/Gamma counts can be displayed separately or on the same screen.
For surveying operations the Radhound also has an integrator mode.

• Clear digital LCD display with backlight.
• GM and scintillation detector options.
• Scaler timer function.
• Ergonomic tilt stand.
• Wall mountable.
• Fully adjustable alarm levels.

Radhound X/E and X/I
The Radhound X/E is an advanced hand-held general purpose radiation monitor, suitable for a wide range of probes. The X/I is a Radhound with an internal dose rate detector.
This feature-packed instrument boasts some unique features, such as the ability to switch between probes via the menu allowing, for example, a dose rate probe and a contamination probe to be configured for use with one instrument. This flexibility allows any standard probe to be used (operating voltage 300 - 1200 V).

• Clear digital LCD display with backlight.
• GM and scintillation detector options.
• Multiple probe library/configuration.
• Fully adjustable alarm levels.
• Scaler timer function.
• Over range indication.
• Peak mode.

Radhound X335 Advanced Hand-held Survey Meter
The Radhound X335 is an advanced hand-held survey meter with an integrated compensated end window Geiger-Müller detector for gamma dose rate monitoring.

• Dose Rate Range H*(10): 0 uSv/h – 1 mSv/h
• Energy response 20 keV - 1.5 MeV
• Clear digital LCD display with backlight.
• Adjustable alarm levels.
• Timed count and timed dose function.
• Peak mode.
• Over range indication.

Designed for use in ‘wet-chemistry’ radio-isotope handling situations where hands could be contaminated, the Handhound voice activated monitor is an ideal solution.

A touchscreen interface is also incorporated to allow configuration and manual triggering if needed.

• Entirely voice operated to avoid instrument contamination.
• Sensitive scintillation counter for gamma emitters.
• Automatic background updates.
• Fixed or dynamic alarm thresholds.
• Alternative detector options covering wide range of nuclides.
• Stainless steel housing for ease of cleaning and decontamination.
• Automatic record keeping against user names, to aid with HSE compliance.
• Touch-screen compatibility included as an alternative to voice operation.
• Data can be downloaded onto USB.

Superior directionality and complete flexibility

The C-Trak Apollo gamma probe allows for the detection of radiation during sentinel node biopsies, parathyroid and tumour localisation. The C-Trak Apollo’s distinctive feature is our superior sensitivity and directionality,
but now we also offer wired or wireless connectivity with the same probe allowing for complete flexibility.

Using our proven and well respected OmniProbe® the Apollo allows for accurate and precise detection of various isotopes. Its superior directionality allows for less invasive dissections and in turn faster patient recovery.

Software for the C-Trak Apollo has been re-imagined, with several new features including autoranging capabilities, choice of four audible signals, easier switching between isotopes (such as Tc-99m and I-125), storage of calibration tests and prompts for renewing calibration sources.

Superior Directionality

The directionality of a gamma probe is not only determined by the collimation, but the energy of the gamma rays. Incoming gamma rays are deflected by scattering within the tissue. This scattered radiation, known as Compton Scattering, can give a false representation of where the specimen of interest is, especially if deep within the tissue.

The C-Trak Apollo system uniquely eliminates scattered radiation, therefore providing superior directionality. The surgeon can then dissect in the right direction to find the tissue of interest, making smaller incisions and dissecting less healthy tissue in the process.
