Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches Hands-Free Radiation Detection Technology

With increasing fears that chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials or weapons will fall into terrorist hands, the need for innovative radiation detection technology has never been so pressing. In response, Thermo Fisher Scientific developed a new line of radiation area monitors that eliminates operational requirements for on-site safety and security personnel.

Security personnel, military teams and first responders can now utilize the Thermo Scientific RadHalo rapid deployment prove (RDP) and fixed monitor (FM) to address radiation threats. The highly-sensitive Thermo Scientific RadHalo RDP and FM spectroscopic area monitors offer the industry’s first hands-free technology to monitor dose rate and identify radiation on location or from miles away via five different reachback options.
