Come and see the magic!
What’s behind a reliable and performing device? A beating heart and a smart brain.
All our devices are based on proprietary front-end electronics and include embedded software, power supply and control unit for an optimized signal to noise ratio and a more comfortable set up.
Design Made in Italy
Tera Chip
The Detector’s beating heart
Optimized signal to noise ratio
The TERA chip is the core of all our devices.
It guarantess an digitalization of the analog singnals next to the sensor to improve the signal to noise ration.
Wide dinamic range
TERA is designed to guarantee a high charge sensitivity (down to 50 fC) while ensuring a wide dynamic range (from 1 pA to 3 mA).
A versatile solution
Suitable for different detector technologies as ionization chambers, scintillators, electrometers.
Tested and verified with all the particle therapy accelerators (cyclotrons, synchrotrons, linear accelerators) and all their beam structures.
Simplify your QA with precise data analysis and record
The Smart Brain
Quick data analysis
All our devices are equipped with data analysis software conceived to speed up all the routine QA measurements with an intuitive, functional and user-friendly interface. From measurement to report in a few clicks.
High accessibility
With its browser-based versatile QA data management software, it allows accessing the data logbook from any terminal device.
Easy trend analysis
It can be used to visualize and manage all past QA reports, statistically analyze the trend of clinical beam parameters, thus checking the status of the beamline and evaluating the need of beamline maintenance interventions.
Raw data transparency
The QA raw data can be visualized, exported, and analysed by choosing among the preconfigured analysis protocols or implementing personalized algorithms in a comprehensive software development environment.
Report and data storage
A dedicated report function allows creating, storing and printing a detailed description of the measured data and QA results.
