Optimized Molecular Contamination Monitoring for Lithography
Abstract A new approach to monitoring molecular contamination in lithography is presented. Recent technical advances have made it feasible to perform continuous real-time monitoring with significant advances in sensitivity and stability while minimizing sample tubing effects. These improvements are realized by using a small, low-cost monitor that is dedicated to monitoring a single location. ...

STS Dispatches first RadEye simulation probes
STS have launched their new smart probes for use with the Thermo RadEye (TM). For the first time owners of the RadEye SX contamination monitor can use their original instrument with an STS simulated probe plugged in without any need for modification of the RadEye. The STS probes are self contained with all the electronics usually built into the host instrument now contained in the probe ...

STS supply Swiss specialist hospital with training simulators
STS are supplying the CHUV (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois) with their simulated versions of the Thermo Mini 900 contamination monitor. The monitors paired with STS simulated 44A probes will allow the Institute of Radiophysics to train staff on radioactive contamination monitoring, decontamination and the hazards or cross contamination. The monitors are due for delivery later this ...

6150ADK Probe now available
STS are please to announce that 2 simulated contamination probes for the 6150 series of instruments from Saphymo and Automess are now available. STS has for some years produced the SPA6 probe, a cylindrical small area probe which connects directly to a real 6150AD but has now also launched the ADK wide area probe. Based on the real automess ADK probe this has twin detectors built into it using ...

The Mussel Watch approach and its applicability to global chemical contamination monitoring programmes
Although the use of biological monitors has become a standard practice in different national and international programmes over the past two decades, there are several complicating factors that need to be taken into account when sampling over large geographical extensions. Species availability, physiological conditions, and climatic variables encountered over large areas of study are a few of the ...

STS fulfills Belgian training requirement
STS has supplied its distributor in Belgium (Raydiant bv) with multiple sets of STS Thermo Electra contamination monitor simulators. Peter Reusens the MD of Raydiant secured the order after a successful trial of the simulators at several Nuclear plants in Belgium. The Simulators will be used in the training of power plant workers who may come into contact with radioactive materials and therefore ...

UK Nuclear Plant invests in smart probes
STS is about to deliver on another order for its unique smart simulation probe for use with the Thermo RadEye. The order from one of the UK's Nuclear Power Plants is for the DP6 style smart probes which house all the electronics and batteries within the actual probe itself. The probe can be used with any Thermo RadEye SX model with the provided bnc cable. Full functionality of the RadEye is ...

Norfolk Fire & Rescue choose STS
STS were chosen by the Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service to supply them with a complete training solution for their radioactive incident training. NFRS were looking for a solution to train their teams in the monitoring of an incident where radiological materials could be present and where the safety of the firefighters is paramount. This needed to include the use of Personal Dosimeters, Survey ...

Egg laying sequence influences egg mercury concentrations and egg size in three bird species: Implications for contaminant monitoring programs
Bird eggs are commonly used in contaminant monitoring programs and toxicological risk assessments, but intra‐clutch variation and sampling methodology could influence interpretability. We examined the influence of egg laying sequence on egg mercury concentrations and burdens in American avocets, black‐necked stilts, and Forster's terns. The average decline in mercury concentrations between the ...

Portal Monitor Simulation
We have been working hard over the last few months on several new products! The first of these is a solution for enabling training with Portal monitors by offering a simulation solution. The first prototype has been made following a request from our Korean distributors (Si Detection) and is now going off to Korea to be trialed. The challenge was to produce a device which could be triggered by a ...

Portal Monitors for South Korea
STS have supplied further portal monitor simulation units to our distributors SI-Detection in South Korea. The portal simulation system works using the STS Safe-Series technology. A detector is set up mounted on the real portal which is connected to a control box, in turn this is connected to a beacon and sounder activated when a person carrying a STS Pocket-Source passes through the portal. ...

UCMR 3 Low-Level VOC Analysis by Purge and Trap Concentration and GC/MS using Selective Ion Monitoring
Abstract The United States Environmental Agency (USEPA) has established the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Program to collect data for contaminants suspected to be present in drinking water.1 The USEPA is currently proposing Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3 (UCMR 3) which will collect data from January 2013 through December 2015. Because of the impact on public health and safety, it ...

Best Known Method for Clean Fluid Sampling to Get Consistent Measurements During Offline Particle Analysis
Abstract A complete chemical quality monitoring program includes data gathered from the time chemicals are received all the way to the point of process. Throughout this monitoring program, the best known method (BKM) which provides optimal data quality and time resolution is continuous in-line monitoring. However, physical and environmental challenges posed by some chemicals and how they are ...

Optimal groundwater contamination monitoring using pumping wells
This study presents a new method for selecting monitoring wells for optimal evaluation of groundwater quality. The basic approach of this work is motivated by difficulties in interpolating groundwater quality from information collected for only few sampled wells. The well selection relies on other existing data relevant to contaminant distribution in the sampling domain, e.g. predictions of ...
