Re: Tritium Detectors

[Dave Derenzo <dave@uic.edu>]

I take it you mean a portable variety?  If so, Ludlum makes one, but they 
take some work to get everything going.  Gone are the days when you could 
order an Eberline  instrument that works right out of the box.  Now you 
have to get your own valves, tubing, etc.  I want a reliable detector that 
I can take to labs, so we are trying to put it on a portable space 
efficient cart.    We are working on this now, hopefully we will have a 
solution soon.  If we ever get it going (it is a low priority pet project 
of mine) I can provide details and a digital picture.
