SATURN is leading Testing Services provider in Radiological Testing in all kind of Water, food Agriculture Products, Herbal Products, soils, Oil, Metals & Alloys as per National and International Standards under the control of ex employee, BARC with well-equipped, sophisticated Instruments and Equipments
Radioactivity is a phenomenon related to unstable atomic nuclei with excess of energy and/or mass, which spontaneously decompose emitting ionizing radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves (gamma rays) or streams of subatomic (alpha, beta, or neutron) particles .
To help you control the risk of radioactive contamination in the environment or food chain, Saturn carries out radioactivity testing on a range of products.
Measuring the levels of naturally occurring and man-made quantities of radioactivity in the environment is very important for human health and the life of ecosystems. By law, radioactivity measurements in foodstuffs and in the environmental must be controlled.
Organisations working with potentially radioactive substances must determine radioactivity levels and identify specific radionuclides
Manufactures always want that your products will reach your market without delay, you need to know that the levels of radioactivity in your products comply with legal limits. In some cases you may need certification to prove that your products have been tested. Our accredited laboratory can conduct these tests as well as identify solutions for radioactive waste management to control the risk of future contamination.
We offer radiation testing and analysis for a variety of matrices and can recommend the right services for your specific requirements. Our experts provide detailed assessments and can offer advice on a wide range of environmental applications.
Our radiation analytical services cover the routine testing of radioactivity in most matrices, including:
- Water (e.g. environmental or potable)
- Soil, sediments, sludge
- Mineral sands
- Biological solids
- Waste and industrial process materials
- Petrochemical and fertiliser samples
- Vegetation (plant material, wood, etc.)
- Food products (solid and liquid)
- Airborne dust
- Air filters (HVAS, personal filters etc.)
- Ambient air (i.e. airborne radon and thoron)
- Building debris
- Mixed waste and hazardous waste
- Wipe testing (analysis of surface contamination wipes)
We report on a wide range of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides, including:
- Gross alpha and Gross beta
- NORM
- Uranium-238 chain radionuclides: U-238, U-234 Th-234, Th-230, Ra-226, Pb-210
- Thorium-232 chain radionuclides: Th-232, Ra-228, Ac-228, Th-228
- Uranium-235 chain radionuclides: U-235, Ac-227, Th-227, Ra-223
- Radon (Rn-222) and thoron (Tn-220)
- K-40
- Ra-228
- Sodium-22
- Tritium (H-3)
- Ni-63
- Cs-134 and Cs-137
- I-131
- Am-241, Co-60, Sr-90
Our laboratories use the very latest technology. Our international and national methods are fast and efficient. They allow us to differentiate between naturally occurring radiation and artificial radionuclides in order to determine any remediation or storage you may need for different types of radiation.
At the end of the process we issue you with a certificate of radioactivity analysis so you can be sure to meet requirements for export of your products. Call our team today to accurately determine radiation levels in your products.
