Marketing Manager Mike McBride is interviewed about our DX-1 Handheld Radiation monitors and how they are being used in the Japan nuclear crisis. 

The hand-held portable radiation meters were the flagship product of ITS before water quality testing meters. Small and sensitive they detect minuscule amounts of gamma, beta or X-rays including the types released by nuclear power plants such as iodine and caesium. Current events have dramatically increased interest in this product. Update: This chart from Pulse graphically illustrates radiation levels in the environment and our daily doses.
