The Model MCA2500R is a new, fully digital Multi-Channel Analyzer designed for NaI based nuclear spectroscopy across a broad spectrum of applications. The new design offers many new features previously reserved for far more expensive MCA systems. With a built in 10/100 Ethernet communication protocol, this model offers both speed and network application flexibility. Throughput has been improved to 75,000 cps and new digital outputs offer controls for sample changers, external alarms or other auxiliary components. The MCA2500R is also a core component to our spectroscopic area monitors, used for medical, industrial and security monitoring or radiation in real time.

About PGT

Princeton Gamma-Tech Instruments is a leading supplier of X-ray and Gamma-ray Detectors and Spectroscopy systems, portable Radioisotope Identifiers, and portable Chemical Analyzers. We serve a broad customer base in scientific research, industrial materials analysis, and Home Land Security. PGT operates a full customer service and Reachback program, backed by a modern manufacturing and service facility.

Princeton Gamma-Tech has been a leader in the field of semiconductor gamma- and X-ray detectors for over 30 years. When General Electric first produced high-purity (intrinsic) germanium crystals in 1972-73, PGT manufactured the first commercial HPGe planar detectors, soon followed by the first HPGe coaxials. Since that time, PGT HPGe detectors have explored outer space, gone to the depths of mines in search of beta-beta decay in enriched germanium, and found uses throughout the world in nuclear power plants, environmental measurements, and aerospace studies.
