Scintillation Detectors

Scintillation detectors are essential tools in radiation detection, converting ionising radiation into measurable light pulses. When a gamma ray, X-ray or charged particle enters a scintillator crystal, it excites the material's lattice structure, producing a flash of light proportional to the energy deposited. This light is then collected by a photomultiplier tube, SiPM or photodiode and converted into an electrical signal for analysis.

At Advatech UK we offer a comprehensive range of inorganic scintillator crystals — including NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), CsI(Na), BGO, LYSO(Ce), LaBr₃(Ce), CeBr₃, CLYC(Ce) and many more — as well as plastic scintillators, scintillator arrays and specialised scintillation screens. Each material offers distinct advantages in terms of density, light output, decay time and energy resolution, allowing you to select the optimum detector for your specific application.

Our scintillation products are used across academic research, nuclear medicine, security screening, environmental monitoring, industrial non-destructive testing and high-energy physics. Whether you need a single crystal for laboratory spectroscopy or a custom array for medical imaging, we can supply the right solution with full technical support.
