Product News: Handheld Multi-Channel Analyzer for Scintillation Detectors

ORTEC introduces the DigiDART-LF

(ORTEC: Oak Ridge, TN) -- The ORTEC business unit of AMETEK Advanced Measurement Technology (AMT) has introduced the DigiDART-LF, a portable “SMART” multi-channel analyzer (MCA) for sodium iodide (NaI TI), lanthanum bromide (LaBr3:CE) and other scintillation detectors.

The rugged, lightweight DigiDart-LF is completely operable without a PC. It can perform a variety of measurements directly in the field or on site and store a large amount of spectra in an internal memory. Its built-in backlit LCD display and control keypad create a live display as data is acquired. An advanced, low-power design provides the DigiDart-LF with digital stability, high data throughput, and up to twelve hours of operational life from a single battery charge.

“The DigiDART LF is a field-portable MCA designed specifically for use with sodium iodide and lanthanum bromide scintillation detectors that offers an excellent combination of features, performance and value,” says Tim Twomey, ORTEC's product manager.

ORTEC has more than 40 years of experience in the design and manufacture of highly sensitive radiation detectors that are used by government and industrial laboratories, nuclear facilities, medical research, and in nuclear safeguards. It is a leader in digital signal processing electronics and associated software.
