If other than Brand Name is proposed, offeror shall provide product literature suffi cient for technical evaluation to ensure the other than brand name item meets all technical requirements. Salient Characteristics for the identiFINDER Digital Spectrometer (GAMMA) MDL# IDF-NG are: an instrument that identifies man-made and natural radion uclides and combines high sensitivity with a wide dose rate range. The instrument is a dual purpose design to facilitate locating missing or offending sources and then identifying the source via its gamma spectrometry and nuclide identification capability. It is a complete digital gamma spectroscopy and dose rate system. It integrates multi-channel analyzer, amplifier, high voltage power supply, and memory with an integral scintillation and GM. User Selectable Nuclide Library; there are 74 reference spectr a of radionuclides stored in 6 libraries (Nuclear, Industrial, Medical, Customs, OSI, and Security). All sub-libraries except OSI can be edited by adding or deleting specific nuclides from the list. Ten (10) reference spectra can be measured by the user an d added to the predefined library spectra. Identification is done by a template-matching correlation procedure.
