What is the SaphyRAD MS used for?

The SaphyRAD MS is a versatile radiological monitoring device designed for military, first responders and CBRN teams. It enables detection, measurement, identification, and control of radiological and nuclear materials during incidents such as nuclear accidents, dirty bombs, or lost radioactive sources.

How does the SaphyRAD MS system adapt to different radiological situations?

SaphyRAD MS features a single monitor compatible with a wide range of interchangeable probes. Each probe is specialized for a specific mission — from source localization to radionuclide identification, and contamination control — allowing responders to adapt quickly to any scenario.

Can probes be changed during an operation without turning off the device?

Yes. The SaphyRAD MS monitor allows probes to be plugged and unplugged while the device is running. It automatically recognizes the connected probe and adjusts its settings and display accordingly, ensuring uninterrupted dose and dose rate monitoring throughout the mission.

What types of probes are available with the SaphyRAD MS system?

The system supports multiple specialized probes, including: Gamma probe for source detection Beta probe for contamination control Alpha and Wound probes for alpha contamination detection X-ray probe for distance contamination control Neutron probe for critical neutron radiation detection Identification probe for radionuclide identification

Who can use the SaphyRAD MS system and in what configurations?

SaphyRAD MS is designed for military units, first responders, bomb disposal teams, and specialized radiological response teams. Bertin offers three standard kits for typical operational needs, but users can also customize their own kits by selecting specific probes to match their mission requirements.
