CoMo 170 is a modern device in the field of surface contamination monitoring. An important advantage of the CoMo 170 is that it uses innovative detector technology that does not require any gas flow or gas-filled detector.
It uses a thin-layer plastic scintillation detector. This type of detector is sensitive to both α and β/γ radiation. If the detector’s housing suffers mechanical damage, the manufacturer of the detector does not require any repairs.
There is no longer a need for expensive and time-consuming calibrations (normal or xenon detectors).
