Portable alpha/beta Continuous Air Monitor (CAM)
SARAD
The SARAD Aer 5200 and 5300 are portable alpha/beta Continuous Air Monitors (CAM) designed to continuously monitor ambient air for airborne radioactive aerosols. These instruments are commonly used in nuclear facilities, the NORM industry, mines, and nuclear medicine.
The Aer 5200 operates by siphoning air through an internal pump, depositing aerosols on a filter surface, and analyzing them using spectroscopy. It compensates for natural background radiation from radon and gamma sources, ensuring accurate readings. The device is user-friendly, with an intuitive touch screen, ergonomic design, and quiet operation. It also features large wheels and lightweight construction for easy mobility.
The Aer 5300 variant includes a separated detector/filter unit, allowing for flexible placement in constrained spaces. Both models offer high sensitivity with low detection limits and alert thresholds for alpha and beta radiation. They also support additional detectors and sensors for extended functionality.

SARAD was founded in 1993. The company started as service provider assessing radioactive polluted properties with regard to their later decontamination. After a short time, the company started to develop electronic measuring instruments. In 1994, SARAD launched their first radon monitor. Since 1997, the development and manufacturing of premium measuring equipment have become the pillars the company is built on. Due to its positive business performance, the company was able to move into its own corporate building in 2000. Step by step the range of products has been extended over the following years.
