Ametek Detective X

ince 2004, ORTEC Detective Family Hand-Held Radioisotope Identifiers (HHRIIDS or RIIDS) have been used by organizations worldwide to interdict the illicit trafficking of nuclear materials. ORTEC RIIDS are used every day by:

• Departments of Homeland Security
• Departments of Defense
• National Security Organizations
• Bomb Disposal Teams
• Emergency Response Teams
• Customs and Border Control
• Navy, Army and Air Forces
• Emergency Management Teams
• Civil Support Teams
• Police Departments
• Nuclear Safeguards Organizations
• Nuclear Fuel Manufacturers
• Nuclear Researchers
• US NNSA second line of defense “Megaports” initiative
• Transit Authorities

ORTEC’s Detective instruments base their superior performance on cryo-cooled ORTEC HPGe detectors coupled to unique identification algorithms developed from an original Technology Transfer License from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (TL-01754-03 and TL-01753-03). These, in turn, have been improved based on actual in-field experience.

Detection and Identification Features

• Larger HPGe crystal, three times more efficient than the Micro-Detective-HX.
• Improved Algorithm that increases detection probability.
• Comprehensive library of over 175 radionuclides including new radiopharmaceuticals.
• Better standoff detection and ID capability.

Operational Improvements

• Rugged Instrument designed for harsh environments (IP65 compliant).
• Weight Significantly Reduced (about half of Detective-EX-100T).
• Battery life doubled and batteries are hot swappable.
• New Li6/ZnS Neutron Detector Module (NDM), no 3He required.
• Bigger display screen, easily readable in sunlight.

Quality Improvements

• New Stirling cooler with more cooling capacity and improved mean time between failures.
• Designed with extremely hard polycarbonate case, making it both lighter and more rugged.

Enhanced Connectivity Options

• System includes built-in Ethernet connection (RJ45).
• USB Connection to PC is plug and play.
• USB memory stick stores >100,000 spectra.
• Mobile phone Interconnectivity and control of instrument for iOS, Android, and Windows platforms.
• WiFi and Bluetooth are standard with Detective X.
