SabreASC

Alpha Sample Counter

Overview

The Bladewerx
SabreASCTM
Alpha Sample Counter
is a field-deployable alpha sample counter that provides high-sensitivity Pu239 activity determinations on 2-inch planchettes, filters or swipes with real time compensation for radon-daughter background. Samples no longer need to be stored for several days for radon daughters to decay before being able to assess the activity of isotopes of interest, and SabreASC is easily calibrated to other alpha-emitting isotopes of interest.



 

The SabreASC Assistant analysis and control software is a PC-compatible Windows-based program that provides complete instrument control, calibration, data analysis, and data logging capabilities via a serial RS-232 link. It is a high performance package with the capability for doing spectrum analysis, using an isotope peak-fitting algorithm, and quantifying transuranic activity against a background of radon-daughter interference. The user interface is highly simplified by point and drag thresholds and peak locators on the spectral display during calibration and automatic count time determination based on user-defined action level, real-time MDA determination, and activity level. The SabreASC Assistant software is provided as standard with the SabreASC. Desktop, laptop, and handheld computers are optionally available to support the Bladewerx SabreASC Assistant package.

Key Benefits

  • Isotope peak-fitting algorithm that is more accurate than regions-of-interest or tail-fitting radon background subtraction methods

  • Activity and spectrum logging

  • Automatic min-count time determination

  • Live “strip chart” display of activity, Detection Level, action level, and elapsed time.
