RAD8 Radon and Thoron Detector

The new RAD8 reimagines scientific-quality electronic radon monitors with complete top-to-bottom upgrades in comparison to the venerable RAD7, the instrument which for years has been the industry standard for a variety of applications including air quality testing, health physics, geology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, oceanography, environmental remediation, metrology, and more. With its cutting-edge features and optimizations for outdoor use, RAD8 revolutionizes radon/thoron monitoring in the field and the lab.

An environment-proof, super portable design with long battery life and IP67 water/dust resistance even when the lid is open means you can use RAD8 conveniently and worry-free whether you work near water, on rugged terrain, in a dusty mine, or in the gentle confines of a lab.

Precision and Performance

• Up to 4X higher sensitivity than competing units – 70% higher than RAD7
• Alpha spectrometry provides higher accuracy than pulsed ionization chambers and Lucas cells
• Recovers from high Radon concentrations in minutes – not hours
• Fastest response and recovery times of any continuous Radon monitor/sniffer on the market
• Immunity to background for the life of the instrument without expensive chamber replacements

Convenience and Ease of Use

• The only radon monitor in the market that is waterproof with the lid open or closed (IP67)
• Rechargeable lithium ion battery provides 3 days continuous operation
• Compact, light, and rugged – 30% smaller, 20% lighter than RAD7
• Color touchscreen and pushbutton controls let you configure, run and display test results
• Create and save frequently-used protocols

Security and Flexibility

• Tamper-proof key-lock command secures your RAD8 and assures uninterrupted testing
• Indestructible MIL-SPEC certified case
• Displays, prints, and downloads radon data in your choice of units
• Secure cloud storage of data files with CAPTURE software

Expandability and Value

• Available with a wide range of accessories for measuring radon in air, water and soil
• Versatile connectivity with built-in WiFi and USB
• Companion CAPTURE software for data retrieval and analysis

• Measure radon concentrations or radon as environmental tracer in groundwater, soil, and air
• Measure radon concentrations or radon as environmental tracer in surface water
• Test radon in facilities that use ionizing radiation: govt, labs, academic and research institutions, regulatory agencies, nuclear power plants, hospitals, factories.
