Mini-Instruments 900 Geiger Counter for Gamma and X-Ray Radiation Monitoring

The Mini-Instruments 900 is a handheld Geiger counter designed for precise monitoring of gamma and X-ray radiation in various research fields including clinical diagnostics, industrial laboratories, and academic environments. This radiation monitor features:

• Measurement range: 0 to 500 counts per second (cps), suitable for contamination control and general radiation detection.
• Halogen-compensated Geiger-Müller (GM) tube: Tempered for improved durability and delivers a calibrated response from 45 keV up to 1.5 MeV and above, optimizing sensitivity in molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing safety protocols.
• Radiation types detected: Gamma and X-rays only; not recommended for X-ray devices operating below 75 kVp.
• Audible feedback: Integrated speaker provides real-time sound intensity corresponding to radiation levels, facilitating rapid on-site risk assessments.
• Alarm function: Configurable threshold alarm to alert users at preset radiation levels, enhancing safety during bioprocessing and synthetic biology workflows.
• Power supply: Operates on 6 standard batteries, ensuring portability for diverse laboratory or field applications.
• Compact dimensions: 180 × 110 × 165 mm, enabling ease of use in biomedical engineering and environmental monitoring contexts.

This instrument is essential for radiation contamination control in biotechnology research, molecular cloning laboratories, and is widely adopted in clinical and industrial radiation safety protocols. Its reliable detection capabilities make it ideal for professionals requiring sensitive and portable radiation monitoring integrated into stringent biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
