Scintillation counters are devices used to detect and measure ionizing radiation by utilizing the light emitted from a scintillating material when it is hit by an incoming particle. These counters are widely used in medical, industrial, and research applications for detecting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Consider the type of radiation you need to detect, the sensitivity of the device, and the specific application it will be used for. It's also important to check the device's calibration and any included accessories.
Use a reliable shipping service that specializes in delicate scientific equipment. Ensure the counter is properly packed with cushioning materials and clearly labeled as fragile.
Regular maintenance includes checking the calibration, cleaning the detector and scintillating material, and ensuring all electronic components are functioning properly. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines for best results.
