Digital Hand-Held Multichannel Analyzer [InSpector 1000]

The InSpector™ 1000 is a high-performance, hand-held NaI spectrometer for use primarily in first responder, customs, homeland security, and health-physics applications. One-click simplicity masks the sophisticated spectral processing facilities that lie within the instrument - providing a level of performance previously available only in more complicated laboratory systems. The InSpector 1000 is an instrument that provides answers not just data! With the InSpector 1000, users from law enforcement officers to Health Physics technicians can obtain the results they desire with an easy to use, intuitive interface.

InSpector 1000 has been designed for easy operation. The high-resolution color LCD display is clearly visible from bright sunlight to night conditions. The unit can be held and operated in one hand (even if wearing gloves). The convenient hand strap leaves the hand positioned to easily reach the controls with the thumb. This leaves the second hand free for other operations - holding a ladder, sorting through suit cases or packages, etc. In addition, for applications requiring flexible positioning of the detector relative to the object being inspected, the detector can be detached from the instrument body and placed in any position or narrow gap. This greatly increases the probability of detecting small amounts of radiation and precisely locating sources by reducing the measurement distance.

InSpector 1000 was designed to be used in all types of environmental conditions. Its ruggedized, light weight packaging meets the IP 54 specifications and is easily decontaminated. It also has a wide operating range for both temperature and humidity. The InSpector 1000 instrument has been designed to survive a one meter drop onto concrete.

InSpector 1000 is an easy-to-use digital multichannel analyzer, ideally suited for homeland security applications, custom and border protection, healthphysics, treaty and non-proliferation compliance, monitoring of nuclear transportation, and in situ measurement of objects, surfaces etc. The user interface provides the ultimate flexibility in field operations. The InSpector 1000 is readily usable by less sophisticated users without the need of extensive training and also offers high-level spectrometry analysis capabilities for expert users. It can be used in any field measurement application requiring nuclide identification, activity measurements, dose/count rate measurements, or spectrum acquisition and analysis. Although the instrument has a powerful suite of spectroscopy functions, the InSpector 1000's simple user interface isolates the user from complicated spectrum analysis while still providing this data to more advanced users.
