UNDX-1
Pocket Geiger Counter


Detects Beta, Gamma & X-Ray Radiation


The UNDX-1 Pocket Geiger Counter
Extremely simple to use, rugged, pocket sized, and fantastically sensitive.

Our new UNDX-1 Pocket Geiger Counter is an impressive performer. It is ideal for everything from checking scrap metal for radiation contamination to lab & industrial uses - as well as for Uranium prospecting.
The UNDX-1 instantly indicates levels of Beta, Gamma, and X-Ray radiation by a series of audible 'clicks' (and 'beeps at higher levels) from an internal speaker and by the compressed-scale meter.
At  low & background levels of radiation, the unit emits an audible 'click' for each particle or ray detected up to about 10 mR/hr. If the radiation levels rise above 10 mR/hr, the unit will begin to 'beep' with increasing frequency as the radiation level increases, becoming a continuous tone above 20 mR/hr.

The pocket size makes it very convenient  for industrial, covert & general use. Typically Geiger Counters have a separate probe requiring 2 hands to operate the unit. The all-in-one design of the UNDX-1 allows you to operate it with one hand leaving the other free. You'll be surprised at what you find radioactive around you. Bring the unit into an antique shop and find a wealth of radioactive antique items from
Radium clocks to Uranium glazed cups & saucers.

Simple to operate, the only control is a single button used to activate the unit.
Dual scale analog meter displays radiation levels in mR/hr as well as the international uSv/hr.
An LED indicator alerts you of battery condition upon each use.
The UNDX-1features an industry standard Halogen-quenched Geiger-Mueller tube with 3mm window.
Applications for the units are many and may include checking for environmental contamination, industrial, clinical, field, school classroom, home use, or wherever radioactive materials are present. Perfect for rock and mineral enthusiasts for its simplicity and convenience in identifying naturally radioactive rocks and ores, or for workers handling radioactive minerals, metals, and isotopes who are concerned about unknowingly bringing home contamination on their clothes and shoes.
Unit comes with the battery installed and is ready to use right out of the box.
1 year warranty on the electronics and 5 year warranty on the Geiger-Mueller tube.
We also include a small radioactive Geiger Counter Test Sample so
 operation of the unit can be verified at any time.
