Thermo Fisher Scientific has been granted two U.S. patents for Radiation Instruments that can help lower risk of nuclear terrorism. Thermo Scientific RadEye PRD helps border guards, customs agents or counterterrorism teams detect radiation sources more effectively than conventional personal detec- tors U.S. patent 7,456,405 B1 was granted for the radiation-measuring Thermo Scientific RadEye PRD, a small, portable, high-sensitivity, pager-like device. Unlike conventional radiation pagers, the patented method incorporated in the RadEye PRD allows the setting of alarm levels well below the typical range of natural background radiation. U.S. patent 7,544,927 B1 was granted for the innovative Thermo Scientific Lutetium-Oxide test adapter for beta and gamma sensitive radiation detectors. Based on specially shaped packaging of high-densi- ty Lutetium-Oxide ceramics, the patented test adapter overcomes the many disadvantages of con- ventional radiation check sources.
