UK radiation and biological detection specialist Kromek is debuting two standalone static node detectors at the upcoming DSEI defence exhibition, held in London from 12-15 September 2023.
The Static Node D and Static Node R detectors were designed for unattended, continuous spectroscopic radiation monitoring via satellite communication. They combine the compatibility and sensitivity of the existing suite of Kromek detectors with satellite connectivity, ruggedised casing, with the Static Node R encompassing an enhanced power pack to enable the device to be used for up to seven days in a higher activity environment.
Kromek will be featuring its suite of radiological detectors at DSEI, including its full range of ‘D family’ hand-held radioisotope detection devices, including the D3M, D3S and D5 RIID. These devices are known for their networked capability to integrate with local, national, and international systems; their noted accuracy and ability to rapidly identify even the smallest samples and lowest dose rates; and their endurance, portability, and ease of use.
Kromek will also be featuring its biological detection capabilities at the show. These integrated environmental monitoring systems allow the early, agnostic detection of biological threats across large areas with minimal user interaction. Kromek’s novel autonomous biosensing system – a ‘lab in a box’ – detects the presence of airborne or waterborne pathogens. Kromek states that it offers a revolutionary capability to understand and control the spread of diseases using these systems.
Craig Duff, Kromek’s CBRN business manager, was quoted by the company as saying, “With the ever-present threat of a radiological or biological incident, given current international events, our detection capabilities are more necessary than ever. We are looking forward to returning to DSEI and demonstrating our range of radiological and biological detectors to many of our existing and prospective customers from the global CBRN community as well as infrastructure and platform providers and integrators.”
