High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) Detectors for Superior Gamma Spectroscopy
Radiation Detection Measure delivers advanced HPGe detector systems, engineered for high resolution, reliability, and seamless B2B integration across North America
High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) Detector Overview
High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors are the gold standard for gamma-ray spectroscopy, offering unparalleled energy resolution and sensitivity. These semiconductor detectors are essential for applications requiring precise identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides. HPGe detectors operate by converting incoming gamma photons into electrical signals within a highly purified germanium crystal, enabling detailed spectral analysis. Their ability to distinguish closely spaced gamma energies makes them indispensable in nuclear research, environmental monitoring, nuclear power, and homeland security.
Radiation Detection Measure supports B2B clients throughout North America with HPGe detector solutions that combine innovation, reliability, and expert support. Our systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industry, helping organizations achieve compliance, safety, and operational efficiency through advanced gamma spectroscopy.
