PINS3-CW-G2 Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy

PINS3-CW-G2 Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy System – Advanced Non-Intrusive Chemical Identification

The PINS3-CW-G2 Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy System is an advanced, field-deployable solution designed for the non-destructive identification of hazardous materials. Utilizing neutron activation analysis, this system enables rapid detection of chemical warfare agents, explosives, and toxic industrial chemicals without the need to open or directly contact the container, ensuring operator safety and preserving sample integrity.

At its core, the PINS3-CW-G2 integrates the ORTEC trans-SPEC-N mechanically cooled high-purity germanium (HPGe) gamma-ray spectrometer, eliminating the logistical challenges associated with liquid nitrogen cooling. This spectrometer offers exceptional energy resolution, with <1600 eV at 122 keV and ≤2.5 keV at 1332 keV, facilitating precise elemental analysis.

The system employs a compact miniGEM neutron generator, producing a neutron yield of approximately 6×10⁶ n/s, effectively replacing traditional Californium-252 sources. This innovation not only reduces operational costs but also enhances safety by eliminating the need for radioactive materials.

Designed for versatility, the PINS3-CW-G2 is equipped with a ruggedized laptop running specialized chemical analysis software, enabling automatic identification of substances within minutes. Its lightweight carbon fiber measurement stand and hardened transport cases ensure durability and ease of deployment across various terrains.

With a 12-hour operational battery life, USB and power cable connectivity, and a comprehensive safety kit, the PINS3-CW-G2 is ideally suited for applications in military operations, emergency response, environmental monitoring, and homeland security.

PINS3-CW-G2 combines the latest chemical analysis identification technology with the industry-leading ORTEC trans-SPEC-N high purity germanium platform.

The PINS3-CW-G2 eliminates the need for liquid nitrogen and a Californium-252 neutron source, providing ease of deployment in OCONUS missions. It offers built-in automatic ID of chemicals – all in a rugged design for field deployment.

Along with the addition of the trans-SPEC-N, the PINS3-CW-G2 also includes the additional capability and features such as:

• No liquid nitrogen is required.
• Uses a mechanically cooled, field deployable gamma spectrometer (ORTEC trans-SPEC-N).
• No Californium-252 source is required.
• Auto analysis of chemicals.
• Uses a small, portable Neutron Generator that saves weight, power, and space.
• Ruggedized laptop with latest PINS3 Chemical Analysis and Identification software.
• 12 hour runtime with external rechargeable batteries.
• Lightweight carbon fiber measurement stand.
• USB and Power cables.
• Safety kit.
• Hardened wheeled transport cases.
