RAMONA Star
Introducing the RAMONA Star-an advanced coincidence HPLC flow monitor that continues a legacy of excellence with over 2000 units installed since 1983. This state-of-the-art radioactivity-HPLC flow detector is engineered for maximum sensitivity and minimal background noise, making it an ideal choice for detecting low-energy beta minus nuclides, such as H-3.
Key Features
• High Sensitivity Detection: Utilizes 2” diameter photomultipliers, offering superior sensitivity for liquid scintillation admixture, recognized as the most effective method for low-energy beta detection.
• Versatile Scintillator Options:
– Liquid Scintillator Admixtures: Deliver exceptional sensitivity for H-3 detection.
– Solid Scintillators: Alternative internal solid scintillator materials and particle sizes are available, providing similar efficiency for C-14 and other low-energy beta applications. The potential contamination of solid scintillators is meticulously analyzed and mitigated.
– External Scintillators: Recommended for high-energy beta applications, expanding the versatility of the RAMONA Star.
• Advanced Identification Technology: Elysia-raytest has developed a unique identification system for each flow cell, allowing for the automatic adaptation of coincidence timing based on the scintillator material used. This feature is essential for GLP compliance.
• Precision Counting and Pulse Summation: Features two identical, simultaneous counting channels, each equipped with individual lower and upper discriminators for tailored applications and calibrations. The integrated microprocessor counts single events in each channel with high accuracy.
• Real-Time Data Transfer: The count data per interval time is seamlessly transmitted to a PC running Elysia-raytest’s GINA X software, ensuring efficient data management and analysis.
• Digital Integration: Offers digital integration of regions of interest (ROI) and peaks, with statistical accuracy and limit of detection calculated, displayed, and documented for comprehensive reporting.
The RAMONA Star is the perfect solution for laboratories seeking precision, sensitivity, and reliability in beta radioactivity detection, setting a high standard for HPLC flow monitoring in radiochemical applications.
