All HPGe and SiLi photon detectors must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures to operate successfully. The “classic” means of cooling is by the use of a liquid cryogen, most commonly liquid nitrogen (LN2). ORTEC offers a large range of liquid nitrogen cryostats, dewars and storage systems. The following products and product families employ electro-mechanical coolers of the Klemeko and Stirling cycle types.

LDM-1 Laboratory Detector Module: NO HASSLE WITH LIQUID NITROGEN ANYMORE!

The IDM-200®-V is a high performance gamma-ray spectrometry “building block” for use in multiple applications. Ideal for field applications such as waste assay.
Benefits:

• SMART-1 diagnostics: State-of-health and instrument status available at a glance
• high-reliability Stirling cycle cooler cools rapidly to operating temperature
• easily fits into existing standard lead shields
• hardened cryostat designed for long operational life
• can be temperature cycled at any time, even from partial warm up
• high performance, digitally stable signal processing
• highly Sensitive 65mm Ø x 50mm HPGe detector
• USB 2.0 data communications
• lightweight design of only 7.3 kg
• low power consumption
• low Frequency Rejector (LFR) improves spectrum resolution in noisy environments

X-Cooler^tm III

The 3^rd generation Liquid-Nitrogen-Free cooling for counting laboratory Germanium detectors.

• saves labor and expense in comparison to traditional LN₂ cooling: eliminates safety risk in handling of liquid cryogens
• separate cooler and compressor with flexible umbilical makes for easy installation in most existing shields
• zero maintenance-free
• backward compatible, all-attitude cold head
• compatible with all ORTEC HPGe detector types
• 100% compatible replacement for all previous X-cooler models
• eEasy in-field upgrade installation on any ORTEC PopTop detector
• near silent operation <60 dB audible noise at 1 meter
• low power consumption <400 Watt in operation

MAESTRO MCA Emulation Software: 64-bit Windows 7 compatible!

Ortec has released the Connections 8 (64-bit Windows 7 compatible). The new software is available for all instruments that use USB1 and TCP/IP connectivity. Instruments that are dependent on a host computer, such as plug-cards or USB devices, can be shared on a network through the MCB Servers running on each computer. This process allows 64-bit Windows 7 computers to operate instruments that are not 64-bit compatible through their 32-bit host computers. Ask for the possibility of upgrading your current Maestro software.

IDM-200®-V Interchangeable Detector Module for System Integrators

The IDM-200®-V is a high performance gamma-ray spectrometry “building block” for use in multiple applications. Ideal for field applications such as waste assay. Benefits:

• large area 85 mm x 30 mm HPGe crystal
• high-reliability Stirling cycle cooler cools rapidly to operating temperature.
• hardened cryostat designed for long operational life
• can be temperature cycled at any time, even from partial warm up
• high performance, digitally stable signal processing
• ‘hot swap’ of IDM modules while in operational state – reduced downtime
• USB 2.0 data communications
• continuous data collection, no dead spots, using list mode
• low power consumption
• low frequency rejector improves spectrum resolution in noisy environments
