The Mirion Canberra Argos line of Whole Body Contamination Monitors provides user-friendly operation with thorough and reliable detection of external contamination on personnel working in nuclear environments. The Argos-5WBAB  monitors most advanced gas flow detectors optimized for the best possible alpha and beta response (along with minimizing the gamma response).

Until recently, the elimination of counting gas has been the only advantage of using of plastic scintillation detectors over traditional gas flow detectors in whole body monitors. The sacrifice for this advantage was in detector performance (low efficiency, bad uniformity) leading to longer count times. Mirion has successfully addressed the challenges of this gasless detector technology, minimizing the trade-off between operating costs and performance.

All Argos monitors use a sophisticated “fast following” background trending and release-limit algorithm to provide the best performance in a stable or varying radiation field.
