Dear users,
You have chosen the device in which engineers and developers of our
company had realized a completely new approach to detect and measure
radiocesium, which spread from nuclear accidents in the environment, particularly
in food. Now control of cesium radioisotopes in products will find its application
not only in specialized laboratories but also at home without professional
radiologists.
We managed to create a set of new original gamma spectrometry solutions
which made it possible to use in measurements the detector crystals smaller in size
and cheaper than those of laboratory equipment. This allowed us to significantly
reduce the device price in general compared to laboratory equipment.
We continue developing a new trend in radiocesium monitoring and
constantly improve new mathematical solutions used in our device. We see a great
opportunity for improving the quality of measurements and the device performance
and are going to update our software regularly. Using the experience of successful
application of the device for measuring radiocesium activity in food and different
materials, we have added a separate function for measuring dose rate (DER) of
radioactive cesium in the environment. This feature simplifies the detection of
radiocesium emission, which can be hidden in the background radiation, and thus
allows making quick conclusion of the overall pollution or purity of the area or
premises where we are.
Since the device focuses on universal application in domestic and
professional environment, having considered the users requests, we have
introduced one more additional function – measurement of specific activity of
naturally occurring radioactive materials (radium, thorium, potassium) in soils,
construction materials and buildings. The device can simply, quickly and on the
spot do the measurement, which is very complicated and time-consuming by the
traditional methods (as a rule, samples of materials are selected and taken to the
laboratory for measurement). This mode of the device operation is useful for
geologists, builders, environmentalists, students, etc.
Development of the device encompasses the unique experience of
contamination monitoring after the Chornobyl disaster. However, we understand
that the Fukhusima accident has its unique features. That is why we expect to get
information about your first-hand experience of our device use. Experience of the
device behavior under real conditions, plus our new steps towards mathematical
and metrological enhancements will be implemented in later versions of the
software. Together we will make measurements easier and more comfortable. Our
device will make you feel confident that radiocesium is under reliable control
The device enables a user to independently update a software version using
the Internet. The Virtuoso software is available on the Google Play for free.
Best regards,
"ECOTEST" team
