New SmartCAM alpha/beta particulate in
air monitor
SmartCAM is the next generation Continuous Air Monitor (CAM), delivering unparalleled performance in terms of detectable limit, sensitivity and speed to alarm
SmartCAM utilises Spectral Measurement Analysis in Real Time (SMART) technology to provide real advances in alpha particulate detection techniques Using an isotope peak fitting algorithm is proven to be more accurate than using regions-of-interest or tail-fitting methods, resulting in faster, more accurate and more reliable response

Radiation monitoring firm changes source location
Due to record growth, Lab Impex, innovative manufacturer of radiation monitoring instrumentation and systems, has relocated to larger premises in Poole, Dorset
In operation the SmartCAM continually monitors alpha and beta particulates deposited on a static card mounted filter (an optional moving filter will also be available) with a high efficiency solid state detector.
Air is drawn through the card-mounted filter by an external vacuum pump or distributed vacuum main.
The SmartCAM utilises proven features of the Lab Impex previous generation CAM, the CMS-2000, such as the highly efficient head design.
Where the SmartCAM sets itself apart from other systems is in its ability to accurately determine background (Radon and Gamma) ensuring the limitation of costly false alarms.
A ground breaking enhancement contributing to this unrivalled performance is the introduction of temperature and barometric pressure compensation (patent pending).
This enhancement enables stabilisation of the alpha spectrum which contributes to a reduction in spectrum shift known to be caused by changes in temperature and barometric pressure, thus aiding improved detection accuracy.
