Alpha Probe
The SA-100 probe for measurement of surface contamination is designed to be used with any compatible CSP survey meter. Its ZnS(Ag) detector with 100 cm² detection area makes it an ideal tool for direct measurement of alpha emitter, covering applications like working station contamination check, workers body/clothes frisking or large area check for free release approval. The probe body diameter has been reduced to facilitate general handling and reduce the risk of drops.
SA-100 probe is part of Canberra™ Smart Probe (CSP™) family, that drives numerous benefits, such as plug and play capabilities and exceptional readiness for field operations. Please refer to the “hand-held probes” brochure for further details.
Calibration and QA measurements can be performed directly with the probe, without using an instrument, by connecting the probe to a computer with CANBERRA Smart Probe Software (CSPS™), allowing your instruments to remain deployed in the field. It can also be connected via CSP-COM modules to integrate third party system and behave as a contamination sensor sub-assembly.
Once calibrated, SA-100 is ready to be used as a plug and play probe to start a QA measurement in CPM, DPM, DPM/100 cm² with US units survey meters; or c/s, Bq, Bq/ cm² with SI units survey meters.

A SA-100 includes a protection grid that is very easy to remove for decontamination purpose. Even with the grid detached, the probe remains operational and the whole assembly stays light tight. The entrance window is attached on a removable metallic frame that is fixed on the probe body with flat screws and is quickly changed, reducing the service time.
The SA-100 probe can be upgraded (probe’s firmware) via CSPS, a USB cable and a PC.
