Radionuclides are widely used in many fields of research, nuclear medicine and in life science. Wherever unsealed radioactive materials are used, radiation protection regulations require contamination monitoring for hands, feet and clothing.

The LB 148 is a compact versatile Personal Contamination Monitor for radiation protection applications with back of hand measurement. By means of the new scintillation technology it is possible to measure alpha and beta/gamma contaminations simultaneously but the instrument can also be used as pure alpha or pure beta/gamma monitor. The results can be represented in freely selectable units Bq/cm² or in cps.

The LB 148 has a removable hand probe for clothing measurements. A personal registration can be made with optional card reader or transponder.
