The Area Dose Rate Meter BD-01 is a hand-held dosimeter for radiation protection measurements during application of beta-nuclides.

Fields of application:

• Medicine, life-sciences, industry
• Local dose measurement in mixed beta-gamma radiation fields
• Evaluation of workstations
• Retrospective dose assessments
• Localisation of beta-radiation sources and contamination
