Compare the 3 MiniTRACE radiation meters from the MiniTRACE Family – Bertin Instruments (Saphymo)

The MiniTRACE has been developed to improve the safety of workers in environments where radiation plays a role. The MiniTRACE family is suitable for dosimetry, dose rate measurement and contamination measurement for alpha, beta, gamma and X-ray detection.

Compare the MiniTRACE detectors from the MiniTRACE family in the table below.

MiniTRACE CSDF

MiniTRACE S5

MiniTRACE S10

The unique Minitrace CSDF (Bertin Instruments, former Saphymo) is an all-in-one meter for contamination, survey, dose rate, x-rays, food and wipe measurements. The instrument is ideally suited to the environment dose rate equivalent (H*(10)). The Minitrace CSDF offers a special mode for food measurements (two steps). It first measures the background and then the activity level found in the liquid and smashed food.PEO Radiation Technology introduces the fast and very sensitive MiniTRACE S5, a great innovation for fast and accurate radiation detection. The MiniTRACE S5 is the absolute standard for the future. The MiniTRACE S5 survey meter for alpha, beta, X-ray and gamma measurements. Very effective for X-ray leakage tests.MiniTRACE γ (S10) is a dose rate meter especially designed to improve the safety of people who work in control areas: nuclear power plants; reprocessing facilities (recycling); research centers; hospitals. The device is also suitable for the protection of public workers e.g. police, fire brigades, first responders, medical responders and radiation protection specialists. Its rugged and usability make it easy to measure the gamma dose rate (ambient dose equivalent rate (H*(10)) or exposure rate). French power plant inspectors widespread use the MiniTRACE γ for the measurements.
