Airbourne Tritium Sampler Introduced

SDEC (France) is proud to introduce the H3R 7000, an innovative instrument for sampling airborne Tritium. It allows the user to collect a sample of (tritiated) water vapour sufficient to perform an activity measurement in less than 40 minutes.

The liquid sample obtained allows you to perform liquid scintillation measurements with a detection limit of 0.01 Bq/m3. The operating principle is based on an international patent from the French institute of radioprotection (I.R.S.N) and the French Navy military school of atomic energy (E.A.M.E.A).

The H3R 7000 performs fast trapping of Tritium in vapour form, which allows several samples to be taken each day and with a trapping efficiency HTO of 100%. The samples are not diluted and the H3R 7000 has a detection limit of 0.01 Bq/m3.

This unit includes a ‘quick start mode’ and carries out automatic calculation of the sampling time based on actual absolute air humidity (RH/T measurement). Additionally; the H3R 7000 performs automatic drying between samples, which avoids cross-contamination (<0.1%). An integral USB output and printer is also included to allow for easy reporting and labelling.
