Review Date: 16 Dec 2019 | Bertin Technologies
A very good and reliable tool but really expensive.
Determination of radon concentration in air
The radiometer is very reliable and accurate. My friends have similar devices that have been working for decades. An intuitive interface, a universal tool for determining the concentration of radon and thoron in air, and with additional devices, the concentration in water, including running water, in soil air, from the soil surface and from building materials.

Very good results.
Measurements of radon and radium-226 in mineral and drinking water
The instrument is very user friendly, good and stable.

Great results and satisfaction. Our research would not be possible without it.
Radon monitoring of different media: water, soil and air
As we expected the effectiveness of the product is very high. Also, we would like to stress that support/service by the responsible representatives is at very competitive and professional level. Achieved results are of high quality and easily reproducible. The instrument is quite easy to use (after good training by company representatives that were very friendly and accessible by e-mail and phone). I am rating with five stars the ease of use since it is really very easy for use and user friendly, especially bearing in mind professional software paired with the instrument, which transfers and processes data from the instrument. 100% value for money.

AlphaGUARD Radon monitor - Cost effective instrument with reliable results.
Analyze different locations' radon concentrations for regulatory compliance
This is the most effective product I have ever tried for analysis. It is not only cost-effective but practical and easy to use, however it is specialized equipment so not everyone knows how to use it with reproducible results. Of course, it is advantageous to read the instruction manual before attempting to use it. The AlphaGUARD - Radon monitor is a device that can be used alone: no other devices or further analysis are needed in order to get reliable results.

Great results over 20 years of service. I could not do that without an AlphaGuard.
Analyze changes in radon concentration caused by meteorology and geology;
I have been regularly using this product in my cave exploration work for 20 years. The built-in temperature and pressure sensors were found to be indispensible in this kind of work. The long term (years!) stability of the whole instrument is absolutely unbelievable. It is small and not really heavy, works unattended for ~10 days in any place. In fact it's the most reliable radon monitor ever constructed, thanks to Dr. Genrich. Excellent work.

Extraordinarily accurate.
Measurements of radon
Not sensitive to humidity, QA system, linear response, optimal sensitivity.
Review Date: 5 Nov 2019 | Bertin Technologies
Very stable and accurate instrument.
Calibration services
Radon monitor is easy to use and very stable. We use it as a reference when calibrating other radon monitors.

The standard instrument for radon monitoring.
Measurement of indoor radon concentration
AlphaGuard remains the standard for the fast assessment of indoor radon concentration. Logging of results at select-able time intervals is a great feature and allows to track changes in radon concentration, and compare it to changes in ambient Parameters (temperature, humidity).

Reliable radon measuring device for achieving high quality and reproducible results.
Continuous indoor radon measurements and radon in water
AlphaGUARD is a reliable professional radon monitor for achieving high quality and reproducible results. It is easy to use and we have been using it for different radon measurements (indoor radon, radon-in-water, even for radon in soil gas) for more than 15 year.

The new generation of AlphaGUARD offers high detection efficiency in radon monitoring, a wide measurement range (2 – 2 000 000 Bq/m³), fast response and permanent maintenance-free operation with long-term stable calibration.
In addition to the radon concentration, AlphaGUARD simultaneously measures and records ambient temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure with embedded sensors. Optimal ergonomics, high responsiveness and a large digital display make AlphaGUARD a reference device to perform measurement and analysis everywhere from a lab to the field. Air, water, gas soil, exhalation measurements are performed thanks to a large range of accessories and external probes.
The AlphaGUARD is also suitable for multiple applications: radon mitigation, stack monitoring, uranium and rare earth mining, water works, seismic surveillance, radioactive waste management…
With an unequalled 5-year-guaranteed stability combined with its extreme accuracy, AlphaGUARD is also widely used in order to calibrate other radon measurement devices. The collected data can be linked to the DataVIEW software, allowing data download and storage as well as professional data analysis and reporting.
With AlphaGUARD, bring your Radon Lab everywhere.
Continuous measurement of radon concentration in water
As stated in the ALARA principle, all exposures to ionizing radiation shall be kept “as low as reasonably achievable”, especially to prevent health issues. Indeed, radon exposure can represent a serious health risk if it is ingested through drinking water or food. Several studies, such as the Risk Assessment of Radon in Drinking Water report published by the National Academy of Sciences for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, look at radon intake as risk factor for several types of cancer. Drinking contaminated water, for example, can result in stomach cancer whereas lung cancer can be associated with breathing radon and its radioactive byproducts in indoor air. To address this issue, Bertin has developed the Radon Exchange Module 1 to perform a continuous measurement of radon concentration in water and prevent an exceedance of limit value.
On-Site Determination of the Radon Concentration in Water: Sampling & On-Line Methods
Radon can dissolve and build up in water from underground sources. Radon in water can escape into the air during household water use, especially when heated. This whitepaper discusses the characteristics of radon in water and its associated health risks, how it can be monitored and also why measurement is important before and after building.
Evaluating the Impact of Energy-Saving Measures on Dwellings Radon Levels with the AlphaGUARD
The reduction of the air exchange rate, as a consequence of energy efficiency measures, results in an increase of the radon activity concentration in indoor air. The goal of this project was to examine the effect of radon activity concentration in 4 inhabited buildings.
Methodology for Determination of Radon Soil Concentration
The radioactive gas radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2003 Assessment of Risks from Radon in Homes. It represents the second largest cause of lung cancer in the world. Underground workplaces such as basements, mines, caves and utility shafts can have significant levels of Radon as well as above ground workplaces in Radon affected areas. In the U.S., new homes are not required to meet a specified radon level. While radon problems may be more common in some areas, any location may be affected. The only way to know about is to test. Understanding the potential radon levels allows proper systems installation during construction versus after construction vent system.
