Spec-RAM CZT

Benchtop gamma spectrometer

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. Perfect for existing facilities which do not have the space, infrastructure, funding, or skillset to operate a HPGe.

CZT detectors can operate in direct-conversion (or photoconductive) mode at room temperature, unlike Germanium which requires cooling.

Laura Radiopharma software includes all the key gamma spectrometry features including both energy and efficiency calibrations.

A copper liner eliminates Compton Scattering, ensuring an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

Shields the detector from background environmental radiation. Additionally, it attenuates exposure to the operator.

Laura Radiopharma has a fully featured audit trail that can be configured to suit the requirements of the user’s site. Response from the user can be a simple as choosing from a predefined list of standard audit reasons or require a unique response depending on the situation and site rules.

Laura Radiopharmacy features multi-level access control, and the system can be configured to have as many levels of access as the user’s site requires. Menu items are then restricted according to the security level of the individual logged in.

Laura Radiopharma supports the use of electronic signatures, and the system can be configured to suit the user sites requirements for electronic data.

Regulatory compliance is an essential feature of Laura Radiopharmacy, built to meet GLP/GMP, FDA 21 CFR part 212 / 11, and EU Annex 11 requirements. Featuring configurable audit trail, electronic signatures, secure data storage in a database environment and multi-level security, Laura Radiopharma can be configured to meet regulatory requirements for data integrity.

Laura Radiopharma can be configured to suit your particular site requirements for security. Usernames and passwords can be controlled relative to the site requirements as can inactivity time outs and all other functions required for a secure system.

Laura Radiopharma’s Nuclide ID function allows users to simultaneously test radionuclidic identification via a half-life measurement and radionuclidic purity using the Spec-RAM CZT. By measuring decay every 15 seconds at the same time as performing gamma spectrometry on one sample, a decay chain is visualised on screen in real-time, providing dozens of datapoints within minutes to automatically identify radionuclides.
