Radiation Meter for Laboratory, Color : Yellow, Brand Name : V-TECH

The RadEye is a handheld, rugged survey meter designed for contamination and dose-rate monitoring of ionising radiation (alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray) in laboratory, industrial, emergency response, decommissioning and medical-radiation environments. spektro.hu+1

In a lab setting at your company (procurement / instrumentation), this instrument would serve for verification of radiation sources, contamination surveys, area dose-rate checks, and monitoring of shielding and equipment emitting radiation.

Given your role in procurement for a laboratory/instrumentation environment (e.g., at Nunes Instruments), here are some practical applications and how this meter fits:

• Radiation source verification: For laboratories using sealed sources (gamma/X-ray) or working in radiopharmacy/medical isotope environments, you can use the meter to check emissions, ensure shielding integrity, and verify dose rates near equipment.

• Surface contamination surveys: When working with alpha or beta emitting isotopes or lab equipment that may accumulate contamination (e.g., sample holders, smear tests), the B20’s contamination/count-rate mode allows quick screening of surfaces.

• Area/ambient dose-rate monitoring: For areas where radiation is used (e.g., sample prep area, hot-cells, irradiators) the instrument can continuously or periodically check background vs elevated levels, alerting if radiation rises above safe thresholds.

• Equipment commissioning and QA: When new instrumentation or shielding is installed (e.g., X-ray analyzers, gamma counters, irradiation setups), this meter can be part of the commissioning checklist to validate dose-rate drop-off, leakage, and compliance with safety regulations.

• Emergency readiness / decommissioning work: If your lab handles nuclear medicine or decommissioning of radiation sources, the meter is suitable for fast field checks, locating “orphan” sources, and performing radiation sweeps.

• Regulatory compliance and audits: Maintaining a documented log of measurements (many units support logging and PC download) helps during safety audits, regulatory inspections, and internal QA.

• Lightweight design: only ~ 300 g, so easy to handle — even when wearing gloves in a lab or field context. Fisher Scientific

• Long operational time: > 500 hours on just two AAA batteries (and supports rechargeable NiMH cells) — lower cost of ownership. spektro.hu+1

• Large internal data memory: supports both scaler (preset count/time) and continuous ratemeter/dose rate logging — useful for documentation, audits or QA. +1

• Continuous rate-meter mode (for frisker/surface survey)
