Go Direct™ Radiation Monitor

The Go Direct Radiation Monitor detects alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation. It directly connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® or wired via USB to your platform.

Use the Go Direct Radiation Monitor to explore radiation statistics, measure the rate of nuclear decay, and monitor radon progeny. This easy-to-use sensor consists of a Geiger-Mueller tube mounted in a small, rugged, plastic case. A thin window protected by a metal screen allows alpha radiation to be detected, along with beta and gamma. Each new detection is indicated by a flashing red LED indicator and can also be accompanied by an optional audio signal.

The Go Direct Radiation Monitor can be used in a variety of experiments:

• Determine the half-life of an isotope.
• Investigate radiation shielding.
• Detect background radiation sources.
