Geiger-Muller Counters for Reliable Radiation Detection
Radiation Detection Measure delivers high-performance GM Counters with smart features, robust integrations, and industry-grade compliance
Geiger-Muller (GM) Counter Technology Overview
Geiger-Muller (GM) Counters are essential radiation detection tools widely recognized for their accuracy, cost-efficiency, and real-time responsiveness. Used extensively in nuclear power plants, healthcare facilities, research institutions, and industrial environments, these devices detect ionizing radiation such as alpha, beta, and gamma particles. Known for their simple operation and rugged design, GM counters serve as front-line instruments in ensuring radiation safety and compliance.
Radiation Detection Measure provides advanced GM Counter systems designed to support both standalone and networked operations. Serving a diverse B2B client base across North America, our team develops and integrates customizable solutions for a wide range of industries. With a strong emphasis on innovation, quality control, and user support, we help businesses implement scalable monitoring systems that meet regulatory demands and operational goals.

Case Studies
A major U.S.-based nuclear research institute partnered with Radiation Detection Measure to upgrade its outdated handheld survey meters. Our GM Counters replaced aging systems and integrated into their laboratory’s digital logbook for automatic time-stamped data collection. The transition increased staff efficiency and helped the institute meet stringent Department of Energy reporting requirements.
A provincial environmental monitoring agency in Canada needed mobile radiation units for monitoring near decommissioned nuclear sites. Radiation Detection Measure provided customized portable GM Counters with GPS-enabled data logging. The solution enabled real-time mapping of radiation fields and simplified their regulatory reporting.
To address concerns of radiological threats at key checkpoints, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security facility adopted Radiation Detection Measure’s rugged GM Counters into their mobile inspection kits. Our devices enabled quick assessments of cargo and individuals, and the systems were fully integrated with the agency’s alert system for real-time threat detection and escalation.
