    All Alpha Suite models include the following features:

    • For a complete instrument, only vacuum, power supply and PC connection cables are required.
    • Convenient, high-speed USB connection to your computer.
    • Internal digital MCA.
    • Digital spectrum stabilizer.
    • Computer controlled preamplifier, high voltage power supply and calibration pulse generator.
    • High quality nickel plated brass vacuum chamber, easy to clean
    • Optional alpha kickback protection system.
    • Compatible with all previous ORTEC alpha spectrometer systems.
    • MAESTRO® MCA simulation software.

    With the Alpha Suite series of integrated alpha spectrometers, ORTEC can meet the needs of large or small, advanced or entry-level counting laboratories. The unique digital design combined with a modular mechanical approach gives it unparalleled configuration flexibility, cost-effectiveness and high performance. Any of these spectrometers can be added to an existing ORTEC system simply by installing the driver provided with the instrument.

    Alpha Aria
    Single alpha spectrum channel in 2-wide NIM chassis. Built-in digital MCA, so just connect the USB port and start counting. An easy-to-operate PUMP/HOLD/VENT control is mounted on the front panel. Alpha Aria is easily added to existing NIM equipment.

    Alpha Duo (dual channel)
    Desktop dual alpha spectrometer with two alpha spectral channels. Each unit includes a 100% computer controlled vacuum measuring device, variable detector bias supply (switchable positive or negative), preamplifier, test pulse generator with variable amplitude and leakage current monitor. Alpha Duo has a dedicated independent MCA that optimizes processing time.

    Alpha Mega (Large)
    Benchtop single alpha spectrometer with sample chamber for filters up to 4.18 inches (106 mm) in diameter. It is based on the Alpha Duo, but is capable of taking larger samples and using large diameter detectors, has all the same mass characteristics as the Alpha Duo, and is computer controlled. The Alpha Mega is available in a desktop version, but is also available as an option for the Alpha Ensemble (combination) case.

    Alpha Ensemble)
    Modular alpha spectrum system, configurable with up to 4 modules, ALPHA-DUO-M1 and/or ALPHA-MEGA-M1 expansion modules can be combined in any way. Each alpha spectroscopy module includes a vacuum gauge, variable detector bias supply (switchable positive or negative), preamplifier, test pulse generator with variable amplitude, self-controlled RCAP and leakage current monitor.

    Each expansion module has a separate vacuum control in Alpha Ensemble configuration. The Alpha Ensemble can be rack-mounted or placed in the included desktop enclosure. In the Alpha Ensemble (combination) configuration, the internal USB hub connects to the user's PC via a single cable. Each detection system has independent digital offset and conversion gain settings for maximum flexibility.
