The Best Radon Test Kit – Made For Canada
The Alpha Track AT-100 radon monitor is a diffusion-based track detector originally designed in 1986. The current improved design filters out dust and radon progeny through a structural filter that is an integral part of the housing, resulting in increased sturdiness. The housing is injection moulded from electrically conducting plastic in order to minimize electrical charge effects from the positively charged radon progeny generated inside the detector. The hemispherical base is designed to maximize sensitivity and create a more uniform track distribution for better counting statistics.
This kit includes a single device, instructions, laboratory analysis, and a pre-addressed envelope. The device must be exposed for 91 days to 12 months under normal living conditions. Once your test period ends, you have to send back the dosimeter to the laboratory. (*Return postage to ship to lab not included).
The AT-100 Long Term Alpha Track Kit from AccuStar Labs was rated #1 by a leading national consumer advocacy group. According to the EPA and Health Canada, a long-term test is the best way to determine your exposure to Radon during different seasons and living conditions in your home. Closed house conditions are not necessary during a long term test.
The track detector foil inside the housing comes from dosimetry-grade CR-39 that AccuStar Labs casts. Technicians laser cut and engrave each sheet of CR-39 with a unique batch number. They calibrate every batch and assign it a specific calibration factor. They also check all sheets for background tracks.
AccuStar Labs assigns each detector a unique barcoded number and seals it inside a radon-tight pouch. The transparent Nu-Clear pouch eliminates labeling errors.
AccuStar Labs is the only U.S. laboratory that uses electrochemical etching to process alpha track foils. The lab then counts the foils with computer-aided image analysis equipment. John Matuszek of the New York State Department of Health confirmed the superiority of this system over chemically etched alpha track radon detectors in Environmental International (Dec. 1988).
Technicians count all detector foils using a computer-aided image analysis system. The automated equipment delivers highly reproducible results; rereads of the same foils differ by a mean of less than 2% and show only a 5% coefficient of variation. The system counts up to 10,000 tracks per foil, which improves range and precision. The detector delivers only 12% uncertainty with a three-month 148 Bq/m³ (4 pCi/l) exposure. Its detection limit is 29.6 Bq/m³ (0.8 pCi/l) per month. AT-100 Specifications
