Trying to decide on a portable Gama Spec. Ortec or Canberra?

Finally, time for a new piece of lab equipment. We are currently using a Ortec portable for waste steam verification . The experience with Ortec has been odd to say the least. Any incite would be appreciated.

ORTEC sucks!!!!!

Canberra rules!!!!!

Well,................you did type "incite",....

Now, if insight was your goal the portables are always more challenging,....

ORTEC and Canberra both make fine equipment, it often comes down to what you are accustomed to,...

I'm looking for dependablity more than anthing. So I take it you use a Canberra? Any software issues to speek of?

If you need stats on Canberra equipment I might be able to help!

I use a Canberra portable ISOCS for waste stream analysis.  This is probably the best I have used.  I am not too familar with ORTEC.  The Genie 2000 software used with this system is very easy to navigate and use.  If you would like information just let me know.

I use Canberra ISOCs and CZT.  Both are very good.  Highly recommend.

Canberra! We are a total Canberra shop, every now and then I see the ORTEC sales crew and I still refuse even their coffee cups. I love Apex Gamma for spec. ISOCs/LABSOCs is such a tremendous program for us. We operate a mobile rad lab and having the ability to count a coke bottle filled with gravel without a physical geometry is such a lifesaver. Many moons ago I used an Ortec GeLi system, the software sucked and was not user friendly. Also the tech support and continued service you get from canberra has been A++.
