Main features
- Integrates up to 12 independent spectrometer chambers containing a detector, preamplifier, electronic system, and separate valves, optimizing the productivity of simultaneous sample measurements.
- Allows analysis of samples with a diameter of up to 50 mm and is compatible with alpha detectors with an area of up to 1200 mm².
- The distance from the sample to the detector can be adjusted from 4 mm to 48 mm (in 4 mm increments) to optimize radiation detection performance.
- Integrates a High-voltage cutoff feature that automatically cuts off high voltage when vacuum is lost and measures the detector current in the range of 1 nA to 10 µA.
- Device management via external PC, displays vacuum gauge pressure, supports automatic baseline recovery.
Detailed description
Technology & Principles
Amber - 12 operates based on the principle of converting alpha particle energy into an electrical signal, which is then amplified, filtered, and transformed into a spectrum to determine energy and radiation intensity. The system integrates up to 12 independent spectrometer chambers, each chamber includes a silicon ion implantation alpha particle detector (SIID) with an area of up to 1200 mm², a pressure sensor, and a signal preamplifier. The signal is processed through an integrated multi-channel analyzer (MCA), a calibration pulse generator, and a counter to provide accurate analysis results.
Large and rapid sample analysis thanks to the design of 12 independent parallel measurement chambers
Completely overcomes the overload situation and extends waiting times in laboratories by equipping from 2 to 12 completely separate spectrometer chambers (each chamber fully equipped with detectors, preamplifiers, valves, and electronic circuits), allowing simultaneous analysis of up to 12 samples at once.
Allows for flexible analysis of large sample sizes with a stainless steel vacuum chamber
Addresses the challenges of handling diverse sample sizes thanks to a stainless steel measurement chamber supporting sample diameters up to 50mm (2 inches), with adjustable distances from the sample to the detector in the range of 4-48mm (step adjustment 4mm).
Integration/ Expansion
Amber-12 has high compatibility, especially with the SIID detector line with an area of up to 1200 mm² and pulse feedback preamplifiers (pulse feedback preamplifier). All 12 measurement channels are managed and controlled centrally through an external computer running specialized software AlphaPRO, allowing real-time vacuum index monitoring, setting amplification parameters (coarse/fine up to 500), and automatic spectrum analysis.
