Designed for radionuclidic identity and radionuclidic purity measurements, the Spec-RAM CZT offers a cost-effective alternative to High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors, making it the ideal solution for medical radioisotope producers, radiopharmacies, and research facilities when identifying any impurities or contaminants present in a sample.
Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors are highly sensitive to gamma rays – due to the high atomic numbers of Cd and Te – and provide an energy resolution (FWHM) of ≤2.5 compared to traditional scintillator detectors.
With a small footprint and reduced weight, the Spec-RAM CZT can be easily mounted on a lab bench for improved user access unlike HPGe and traditional NaI gamma spectrometers.
The Spec-RAM CZT offsets the disadvantages of larger, costly, more hazardous HPGe systems while still delivering the necessary resolution for the Quality Control measurements of PET and SPECT radiotracers.
